Folks don't know half the good  things this good man does....Grady and I don't agree on much....hell,no one agrees with me on much, but we agree on Evan......If this guy is a friend of yours you're in pretty damn good shape....Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Grady" <bobgrady@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 5:06:48 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Fun weekend....NOT.... Read to the end please The good:  #1:  I was selected to judge a dog show of GSDs.  Always an honor.  Later found out I finished a Beautiful bitch, She was a Canadian Sel CH.  Glad that I was the one to finish her Am CH  WTG Michel>  Just glad to see that I am not altogreater as stupid as Nadine says I am.  And this one I am very please to have done, I love finishing or starting good dogs.  This is the second show that I have, as a judge, finished a dog. In the last two assignments.. Thank you guys for showing her to me.  #2:  What a Club to work with. Nadine and I have judged for a few of the LA clubs (believe 4 of them) over the years.  As judges you could not ask for better people to work with, any of them  As well as the people of that area as exhibitors, LA is not a bad place to judge.  Not only are they great people, but they have some very nice dogs; Those people are just above Super at working with their judges.  #3:   The Bad:  .Our van broke down 100 miles from the show site.(recommend everyone traveling to dog shows..JOIN AAA.).  We were towed 100 miles to our motel on Sat Night,  No one opened until Monday morning of course to even tell us what was wrong with it. Thanks to Liz Leschhorn for the transport to and from the show then finding a repair shop to fix our van.  Then AAA again towing us to the shop.  THE SUPER BAD.  It is going to cost us over $4000 to fix it.  And since I no longer handle I have no clients to help pay for it. <G>.  That was a joke    #4:  Big THANKS to Liz ( our super editor of the Red Book) for taking care of our hotel and transport as well as a super Mothers day Brunch.  #5, 6 and 7:I have known this man for more years than I want to remember. He is the only other than Lamar that could out dress me as a handler  His shoes always matched his jacket. After the show he offered us a car to drive until our van was repaired.  Nadine and I refused that one because we would not drive a car that hot.  It was his red Mercedes.  Besides it would have cramped our little Vickie.  LOL  We did decide on a little blue Honda ( Tedi's favorite).  He then took Nadine to the hospital to get some of her heart medication that she didn't take enough of because we were to be home Sunday night...that pace maker needs some help.  He then made sure she got back to the motel after picking up the car.  She gets lost on the next block.  EVAN GINSBURG, no matter what anyone thinks of him, IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUYS IN THIS DOG GAME. Even if he is a Liberal. No way we can thank you enough Evan.   Great job  Orange Coast GSDC.  No one got hurt Sunday.  Bob ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.  All material remains the property of the original author and of GSD Communication, Inc.
