WITH SYMPATHY
GALT sends our heartfelt and deepest sympathy to the family and friends of these significant people within our Greyhound world. 
Judi McGovern, Retired President of GPA/Louisiana & Mississippi Judi was a true champion, friend and advocate for all greyhounds and was a dear friend to GALT since our inception in 2001. There were many, many greyhounds that she took into their program over the years with the closing of many farms, tracks and other sources in Texas. Judi left this world peacefully in her sleep Saturday, March 8. We all know she is leading the pack at the Rainbow Bridge, and she was greeted by so many needle noses. 
Paul Jolly, former Executive Director of the Petco Foundation, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2014 after a two-year battle with ALS. Paul worked tirelessly as a voice for companion animals as their welfare advocate. It was during GALT's early years and up until 2013, that he was always available to answer any questions and offer guidance specifically relating to the promotion of our beloved greyhounds. Gone, but never forgotten...
