On 8-5-05 I judged in Canton Ohio steel city cluster in the course of that 
judging in one of my classes an entry did not pass the temperament test it was 
a 
good size class that had a brief interruption after which i continued judging 
at the conclusion of that class I had placed the entry that failed the 
temperament test [ I just forgot ] the placing was not first place so it did 
not 
alter the outcome of the show. This mistake was called to my attention in a 
very 
respectful way by an exhibitor who knows how hard I am on temperament. I knew 
the moment I was told it came rushing back to me what entrant it was. I was 
not sure what to do about it. After some thought and at the end of class 
judging 
I made an announcement to ringside what had happened [without saying what 
class or what entry was involved] I apologized for my mistake. Wanting no 
novice 
to go away from this show thinking this was acceptable.  The reason I am 
sharing this with the list is [1 ] for anyone who might have been at that show 
and 
left before my announcement [2 ]
I would like to thank the exhibitor who called it to my attention in such a 
nice way. [ 3 ] to encourage anyone showing under me at any future time if you 
have a question about something I have done [at the appropriate time] please 
ask. [4 ] I would like to have the opinion of the other judges or anyone as to 
how other than the way I did would you have handled this.                 
Respectfully Fred Migliore
