I went to my first National when it was in Niagara Falls (79-80?) and I don't remember who judged. I remember seeing The Phantom (who wasn't shown), CH JJ--but that National began my love for sables. I got to see CH Aspen of Fran Jo, who became the Grand Victor. WHAT A DOG! It still gives me the shivers to remember seeing him float around the ring and thinking that I had to get one of those--lol.
