Thank you Stormy for posting this news about Scott Parsons. I too have known Scott for years since the beginning of my time in dogs as a young junior. Both he and Hobie Brown were there to encourge me on with my German Shepherds. Not only were they involved with Sir Francis Drake Kennel Club but several of us also started another dog club in Novato called the Pacheco Kennel Club but due to distance issues we were unsuccessful with keeping that club alive. I will not forget his times with me early on. He and Hobie bred many beautiful Afghans and became great judges. I will look forward to hearing of his memorial in March.

Scott was an afghan breeder here in CA (Westwind), the long-time show chairman of Sir Francis Drake KC, a popular hound judge, and also was a lot of fun. Scott passed away at 10:20 last night. It has been a very difficult time since Scott's massive stroke and heart attack on New Year's Eve early morning. There is to be a Memorial of Life sometime in March. We will keep every one posted." -- Stormy Hope carpoc.org GSDCA Member And more clubs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
