IN MEMORIAM
Jack Huffman Presenting the Eunice Huffman Memorial Donation
A highlight at
the 2001 DCA Awards Dinner was the contribution made to the Health and
Welfare Trust Fund by Jack Huffman in memory of his mother, well known and
respected dachshund breeder and judge, Eunice Huffman.
Jack spoke movingly of his mother’s dedication to her family and of her
devotion to the dachshund in a speech that reminded many attendees of the fine
traits of the woman they had counted a friend.
Jack concluded
his lovely tribute to his mother by making a personal donation of $5,000.00 in
her memory, and then informed the gathering that Microsoft Corporation had
pledged to match that donation.
This was the
first donation to the Trust Fund in memory of someone who cared deeply for the
breed, and Jack said that he hoped that it would inspire many others to remember
their departed dachshund-loving friends or family members in a similar manner.
The Dachshund
Club of America Health and Welfare Trust Fund is extremely grateful to Jack
Huffman for remembering his mother, Eunice Huffman, in this way, with a donation
that will work for years after her life has ended toward benefiting the breed
that she devoted so much of her life to loving.
