Some of our very best club meetings were those where we had either Ann Mesdag
or Bob Penny talking about dogs and people of the past.
Bob had the full video of the German Sieger gaiting that we have all seen small
parts of. He knew the back story. He talked about Lee Duncan and people's
reactions to Rin Tin Tin. He talked about great dogs he had met both here and
in Germany. He talked about temperament and trainability. We flew him up
several times for our temperament tests and the dinners were always delightful.
Ann always had us all laughing so hard it would bring in all the employees
working the restaurant to see what was going on. She could tell stories like no
other. Theis would sit by quietly with a tiny smile and sometimes just shake
his head as Ann got a full head of steam going.
How good it would have been to have them and the others on film. So much
history lost -

It was a
fun time and Lee asked if any of us knew Ann Mesdag. Apparently Ann
helped
him picking out certain dogs to train for Movies. . Of Course I had met
Ann,because we'd had a Board meeting out there in Seattle and Ann and
Theis had
hosted the Board,and then I had also judged the National there,and
stayed
at Ann's
We have to listen to those like Helen who can tell these stories. I
remember talking to Bob Penny and he told me about handling dogs and
competeing
with VonStephanitz' daughter.
It is a young breed and some of the more mature members, (I don't want to
mention names by I do get to talk to Tom and Vivian at class each Saturday),
can share some interesting stories with us.
Thankfully we have interviews and articles. A few years ago I was going
to go video tape some of the interesting people in our breed. I wanted to do
Cappy and Gloria, Ernie Loeb, Dave Rinke, Bob Penny, Jerry Guzman, Joan and
Fran Ford, Joan Fox, and so many more. I was going to do it at my own
expense.
Then the Parent Club decided to take over the project and they assigned
someone to do it and were going to pay for it, and that person was to make up
his own list. He had his own ideas of who to include, and so I backed
off. I had no interest in getting involved in the conflict. Nothing ever
happened, and I have lost interest. When Bob Penny, Ernie and Joan died, I
realized that it should have been done. But, then I felt I no longer wanted
to take it on.
Maybe someone else could do it now. Just two video cameras, and some one
just talking would be great. I wanted to take some weekend trips, and also
do some work at the national. My idea was just a conversation about the
past, and maybe edit it to 20 minutes would do it.
We still have some of the pioneers of our breed alive.
