hi laura! my husbands family is from co donegal. i'm thinking that devitts come from the same family tree. and i was named lauren and my mother changed it to leslie when i was very little--so we almost have the same name:-)

Dear Laura,

Never thought that in the least. I am delighted the foal is well.

I love Ireland and have travelled to Dublin and Leixlip. I have a friend in Kentucky who runs a thoroughbred broodmare operation and he grew up in county Kildare. He used to be with the Darley group and is a terrific guy. I look forward to travlelling back. It was a wonderful time with great people.

She looks like her mother and for that I 'm thankful.

Jay

Dear Laura,

I am truly sorry for your loss. 17 years is a long time in the horse and people world. If I can do anything, please let me know. I'm glad I could be a minor distraction from your troubles.

Kindest regards,

Jay
