Jamie Walker Joe LaRosa Bob Slay Debbie Hokkanen (I think I may have reversed the order on Jamie and Joe) We are going to have a great national. I want to commend Gary on his ethics, giving up the American National to honor his commitment to Canada shows we will be well served with him on our board. Also, I am delighted that Bob Drescher is going to judge our National. I have supported him for years, even though I have sat with him for ten or more years at the announcer's table. Maybe next year they might allow me back to the microphone. Also, we will have Jamie Walker and Joe LaRosa judging the show-before-the Show. It looks like Utah is going to be a National not to miss. I had, as I have every year when I first get home, considered if I wanted to go to another national. I have to admit, I am no longer 60, and things aren't as easy for me as they used to be when I was young. But, there is no way I am going to miss this one, unless the Superior Court again has other plans. Bill Bergraff is a real find, and with all of these factors coming together, and having just shown at the show site in Utah for the Maturity, with (are you ready for this), Select Excellent Champion Magic Marker, I am looking forward to a return. I do love taking credit for Markie. Christine and Steve Granger bred her, Dave Lasiter brought her to the West coast, Tedi arranged to bring her to our home, then road worked her, set her diet, trained her for the ring, arranged her flight to Ohio, and fed her, groomed her, and walked her at night. Bill Basu took her into the ring at the national, and Dave Rinke picked her for Select. And, I get credit. What a great sport.
