My fondest memories of Col. Gish was when I as a novice breeder (1st litter) and never handled, had to take my dog in for winners, my handler had another higher class dog, and he gave me the win with my 9-12 male at the Wheaton KC. That was way back in 1990. I will never forget that moment as it was not for the handling that my pup won. He was a favorite judge of mine not just because of that but because he knew the breed. Sincere condolences to his family. Pat Galambos In a message dated 11/25/12 11:16:03 AM, Morn1star@xxxxxxx writes: > More sad news. Did not see it on the list, but Col.
