Back in the mid-seventies, I was selling my German Shepherd Dog jewelry
at the Nationals. Wanting to set-up before anyone started arriving,
it was about 630 a.m. in the morning and I was exhausted from attending
meetings the night before. Every part of me ached and I must have looked
it because this very tall, very kind man I never met came over to me and
said...."I brought you coffee and breakfast, you look like you need it!"
That's
when I first met DAVE RINKE. It was the show in New York I believe.
