• Love That Dog
• The Dog Who Rescues Cats: The True Story 
• First Aid for Dogs
• My Life in Dog years
• Dog Training for Dummies

• McDuff and the Baby

• McDuff Comes Home
• Mcduff Goes to School
• The New Encyclopedia of the Dog
• Penguin Pup for Pinkerton
• The Dog Owner’s Home Veterinary Handbook
• The Complete Dog Book for Kids
• Seaman: The Dog Who Explored the West

The books were purchased in memory of Diane T. Holik, our fellow classmate, who we all know now, lost her life tragically on November 16th, 2001. All of the books relate to the topic of Dogs because Mrs. Holik requested it, due to Diane’s love of her two dogs, and the many hours she donated to Largo Vista P.A.W.S.

Kim delivered the books on Sat. Feb. 16th, to the Montgomery Free Library. Diane’s Mother met Kim there, and her Dad stopped in briefly to say thank you.

Kim thought it would be nice if Diane’s parents were the ones who put the special book plates in the sixteen books that were donated. It had been 3 months since Diane’s death and they were honored to be asked.

The Book plates are a golden retriever with eyeglasses at the end of his nose looking at a book. They say: From the library of (which is standard on the plate) Montgomery Free Library In Memory of Diane T. Holik November 16, 2001

Diane’s mom has asked us to thank everyone for their kindness and generosity to them during the loss of their daughter, the books not only brought pride and honor, but tears. I told her, I would let you all know how much they appreciated what the Class of ’76 did in honor of our fellow classmate and friend. So thank you to all the classmates that gave so generously.

It is with much graditude that we thank the following friends & classmates for donating to the Montgomery Library book fund in memory of Diane.
