1. Got in from ohio where I had a great time. Jack is very proud to be the first GSD to have the CHIC award printed on his National Rosette and we hope there will be many more. I was delighted with the beautiful handling of George Berstler and the wonderful appreciation of the crowd for both Jack and Harvey. The hospitality was wonderful. The Moores party the best and Saturday was outstanding for three things. Daves perfect ring procedure, the Gold page luncheon and the marvelous dinner. I would need several pages to name all the super people I spent time with during five fun filled days. 2. I was saddened to learn of the passing of a great dog. Am and Canadian Ch and Am and Canadian select Ch Eagle Valleys Hercules who was bred by Dennis Mulligan. His sire and dam were the winners dog and winners bitch at the 98 National. He was the love of Linda Selmons life.and I am collecting the money for his memorial add. Lots of you out there do not know how much Linda has done for people out here. But I call her the EVAN of the east coast. She spent her entire National helping out Betty Ashton( who is in her eighties) even though she could barely walk herself.
