I wonder how many know it used to be Sharon Penny. That she was married to Bob Penny, and that we all remember her that way. I remember being in the ring with Bob and discussing handling and what we were doing. I remember on show where Bob and I were in the end half of the class. The judge was John Neff, and he looked at the group and said, "I am excusing the last eight bitches". I told him we just entered later than the first eight. I turned to Bob and said we hadn't even done individuals, what should we do? Bob said, "We leave the ring". He and I laughed about that many times. I saw Sharon and Al recently, and as far as that goes, how many remember handling in the ring with All Gibson? I do. Time does march by. We all have to realize that our time is limited, and instead of fighting over things of little consequence, enjoy what we have, celebrate our friends, and be thankful for every day we are together. Or not. Evan In a message dated 8/23/2014 8:57:31 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, sharonrallbright@xxxxxxxxx writes: I think it is very interesting all this talk of old members. I have just received a phone call from Sharon Gibson. She sadly wanted to inform me of Al Gibson passing away in February. After talking about this we moved on to the old times and where everyone was and how everyone is doing. Sharon especially asked about Cappy Pottle and Bill Peterson and many here in this part of California. So if anyone would like to contact her she gave me permission to give her email address out. She is not on the list. She still lives in TX and has horses. And many memories of all the GSD days.
