Just got mine. What a surprise. I didn't know I was that old. It's nice to be associated with this breed that long. What wonderful animals, and people too. By the way, if some quiet, reserved, unfamiliar white guy shows up at the Santa Maria shows, It's not Ed. I know what he looks like and I can't pass for him. He has a greater circumference. Nothing personal Ed, just pointing out the difference between us. Gary in Wis. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
