Lew David's first email: Dear Lew and Ken, I am now in Randers, Denmark for the WUSV World Championship. The hotel has WiFi (which I did not expect) so I have access to the outside world. (I was out of contact for several days and am trying to catch up.) The weather is chilly and rainy and everything here is extremely expensive! From what I can tell, Phil Hoelcher has been doing an excellent job as Team Captain for our folks, and practice has gone well. Even our Alternate Jim Lempner has prepared extremely well. (Last year two of our dogs were hurt, but this year everybody stayed healthy so Jim will not get a chance to show.) Wolfgang Henke was not able to be present at the draw yesterday evening so I was asked to open the event on behalf of the Board of Directors of the WUSV. I will give you more details about the evening when I see you in St. Louis. Today was the first day of competition. Wallace Payne turned in a beautiful protection routine and received 98 (V) ! Charlie Meszaros received 85 in tracking. Tracking scores were not good today and a number of competitors did not do well (2 out of 3 USCA competitors failed). For completeness, the day's scores for the USCA folks (all in tracking) were T. Floyd - 90; Gus Elfer - 56; Martin Vollrath - 14. Tomorrow Wallace does tracking and Charlie does obedience. I will try to report again at the end of the day. regards, David Lew Bunch asked me to let everyone know how proud we are of our team, and they are wearing our logo!
