Dr. Fisher continues his commitment to the National Academy of Neuropsychology Foundation as a Senior Advisor!
 

In my time as Chairman of NAN Foundation we were able to expand knowledge of the Foundation’s mission to a larger community of people, especially those in the military. The creation of the Foundation website was the first step in 2016 toward accomplishing the goal of sharing the expertise of our members as a go-to resource for information about the brain and brain injuries. In early 2017 we added video interviews to the web site with various Academy experts on important topics about brain injury. The website continues to evolve and I look forward to continuing to help with it anf other Foundation projects in my role as Senior Advisor.

Communication Upgrades for the Law Enforcement Fleet

Reno DiDomenico, Jerid Fisher, Bob BenedictDr. Fisher gave the gift of upgraded communications systems for the Humane Society Law Enforcement Fleet at Lollypop Farm. These communication upgrades let officers access the Internet and Police data bases to more quickly apprehend suspects who have abused or who are suspected of abusing animals.

This communication upgrade to these vehicles is the latest in Dr. Fisher's ongoing commitment to the Human Society Law Enforcement officers and their mission. Two previous gifts from Dr. Fisher have been made over the past decade to ensure the whole fleet of vehicles operate with the latest computer technology for the protection of innocent animals.

Rainbow Bridge Gift

Dr. Fisher donated the "Rainbow Bridge" to Lollypop Farm to comfort people in the loss of their animal companions. This beautifully crafted bridge leads to the Nelson A. Lengeman Pet Cemetery and Columbarium.

The Rainbow Bridge symbolizes a place where our special animal friends wait for us after their passing, for a time when we will cross over and be reunited once again.  This is the poem that inspired this gift:

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
