In I didn't realize that I was on the board that long ago. I must have been a child. I am sure Lew is correct, and Ben must have been under two when I entered him in the conditional class. I remember Kathy Steen was judging and she told me he was not her kind of dog, and I told her I knew that, but was supporting the entry. The entries seem to have gone down in the years after that. I think people decided to go for points or Select, rather than enter the class. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
