So Duane went over and introduced himself to Bart That reminded me of a show I judged, I think in St. Louis. Bart came up to me before the show and said there was a young man just starting to show, and would I talk to him about dog shows, and encourage him to continue? I said I would be pleased to do so, as soon as I was done judging. I have to concentrate so hard when I judge, I don't want anything else to be on my mind. I did the classes and then the winner's and when I finished, I found Bart and asked him who it was he wanted me to talk to. He said that young man over there, who you just gave Winner's Dog. It was Reggie with a very nice sable dog. I don't know what happened to the dog, and I never did figure out what happened to Reggie. But, at that time he was a terrific handler. A few years later I was standing next to Reggie about to go into the ring in Specials at the National. I looked at him and said, "Do you realize, I am 47 years older than you?" Reggie just looked at me. I don't think he could understand someone even being 47, let alone 47 years older than him.
