I   understand Helen's desire to keep the Award worthy.  To beg people   to 
nominate dogs for this incredible recognition really takes  away  from the 
value of this wonderful award.  
Helen, thank you so much  for the 


When I was in charge of Junior Handlers, I had to call someone to  nominate 
their daughter for the award.  Each year I would call and then it  would be 
awarded.  Then people seemed to be more interested, and then there  was 
more competition. I tried to encourage juniors, and it took a couple of  years 
to make it work.
 
Maybe we need to do the same with the hero award.  Just because it has  
fell out of favor, is not a good reason to dispose of it. We should find 
someone  willing to promote it, and keep it available for better times.
 
Things come and go.  We should be there when they come back.  It  is easy 
to give up, but takes a bit of effort to keep things alive.  Let  Gail assign 
it to someone willing to make those efforts, and keep it  going.  In memory 
of Blanche.
