Evan, Do you remember the annual meeting at the 1978 National in Kansas City? It wasn't my first National but I hadn't attended too many. We had just moved to VA (the first time) so my treat was to go to the National with my Covy-Tucker Hill bitch. That annual meeting was something else. Everyone was in an uproar over the Futurities and I remember Barbara Woelfel (Lopez) standing up there and fielding questions. Thank goodness I never had to do that. She did very well!! And I don't believe anyone checked membership at that meeting. Tish And there was no law against smoking and I remember how crowded and smokey the room was. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
