I will wholeheartedly join in that wish !!! At the very first National I attended, Helen was the Intersex Judge (Philadelphia, 1983). I was awed at the entry - there were some wonderful dogs and an incredible selection of bitches. I was also awed at the job Helen did. I was a complete novice. Her judging was thoughtful, and even for me in my clueless state, it was straighforward to understand her procedure and her selection. How she decided on that final cut in bitches I will never know - perhaps she will tell us ! I think I still have the catalog, with my notes. I was pleased to see that Helen agreed with me on most placements. LOL I bought my first show prospect as a result of what I saw that day - and as soon as he was old enough for his first show, I entered him under Helen. Unfortunately for me, he was looking about the worst he ever looked at that stage of his life, and I was much too green to know it., so it was not one of our better outings..... LOL We have been very fortunate to have Helen among us here. She is one of the few posters to never miss - she posts rarely, but always has something valuable to say. For those who are new to the fancy, do some research and you will see what a valuable asset Helen is to us all. Helen, have a very very happy birthday !!!!!!
