Happy Birthday to a man who has given me two of my most exciting and memorable wins in this dog show game. He picked up Diana, sight unseen, at ring side one day, many moons ago, and put a 2-point BOW on her, then, in March of last year, he took Harley in (when my scheduled handler couldn't make it) up at the Sacramento specialty, under Bob Drescher, and finished his championship with a 3-point major!! This birthday boy will always hold, not only two special places on my "pictures wall," but, a VERY special place in my heart. I can never thank you enough, but, I do wish you the best birthday ever, so far!! Happy Birthday, Ben Bigornia!! You are one of the really great people in this sport. And fun!! Yes, you are fun!! Another thing some of you may not know about Ben is that he is 3 places below the VP of the USA, in the June, 2010 Review, in our new GSDCA Roster!! Good job, Ben!!
