I finally got a chance to check my e-mail after days of no time .....and this is almost the first post I opened. I'm almost sorry I checked my e-mail. What a great guy, a great Judge, a good friend, what another huge loss for the Breed. John pulled no punches and held you accountable for every word.......we all need that. No wonder our shows are looking smaller.......we have lost some of our best this year!! We've lost our "Elder Statesman"............ I'll miss this good and wise friend.
