Standing selling raffle tickets, wearing levi's and a thin cotton jacket, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder to get into the ring. Next in line by the vote, I was to judge bitches and replace the judge who had been taken ill. Wearing California light-weight clothes, with snow blowing in from the open door, my hands soon lost all feeling. However the excitement in my heart carried the day and I even gave the 6-9 month puppy bitch, Reserve Winners Bitch... A real shock at a National...that was GV Fettuccini. Cold of body but warm in memories. Helen Franklin ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
