Okay, kids! My first National was in 1973 in Washington, with Connie Beckhardt doing specials. GV was CH.Scorpio of Shiloh Gardens, who was VERY young and beautiful, and GVictrix was CH.RoSan's First Love. There are many stories about this National, most of them true. It was many years before I missed another National. Doris E ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
