As I have said Kathy, each judge at the National should be assigned a Personal Assistant. That person picks them up at the airport,takes then to the motel, takes them to the show on the day they are to judge,supplies them with water,juice or soda and stays with them during the photo session. They thentake their judge to the dinner. This display of bad manners is unforgivable.
