OH boy, that brings back memories. I got one of those beautiful redwood trophies for being the Futurity chair back in 1978 (think that was the year - it's been a long time). I was really thrilled to get it. Only problem is the GSD head fell off. I still have it however. Of course, you all know that I just move everything from one location to the next.

I got both. :-) Those were good days.
