I totally agree with what Molly & John. Mary is super with helping all the Clubs with entries, sometimes trophies and anyway she can. She also takes really bad double handlers and tries to help them learn how to make their dog look great. Some of us are just slow learners. Thanks Mary for all you do for us. You go way beyond the call of duty. We love yor!! Shirley & Alan Melvin **** The crowning glory for us was going to the victory dinner and seeing those wonderful Texas center pieces that Mary Tripp made and donated to the club. In the middle of the tables were oil wells in metal with a GSD half way up and it was spewing "black gold". Along with that as party favors were hand fans that will steal a Texans heart.....on them was a beautiful GSD in a field of Blue Bonnets, the state flower. Mary is a rare talent and gives so much of herself every year. Thanks Mary for your dedication to the PC and to all the breed clubs in Texas. It was a long battle to have it here, and we are all glad we did.....a great experience for sure. We hoped beyond the problems you all had a good time and a big thanks for coming!
