It says we are both old! My first National was in 1966. I was all alone in the stands as nobody knew me and this man came by and said I looked trustworthy. That's how I met Ernie Loeb and got to hold GV. Brix in the stands for him. I had no idea who he or the dog were but all of a sudden people started to talk to me. <<VBG>> I have loved gorgeous sables ever since. -------Original Message------- From: helen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 02/10/05 15:31:18 To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] 1965 Nationals The 1965 National Specialty was my first. At midnight, the sprinklers came on as we sat on the lawn. Would you believe that I'm still attending them 40 years later? Wonder what that says about me!
