This past month has been a pretty good one for Ariel and I as far as dog shows
go. Back to back specialty majors on our two bitches in NH a couple of
weekends ago and a class win and multiple class placements at the Canandian
national last weekend. Normally, I'd come home, get a little rest, and then
call John and fill him in on the dog show scene. John wasn't well enough to
get out to shows as he would have liked to, but boy did he love to live
vicariously through the rest of us. I'm amazed, really, at the number and
variety of individuals that John kept in touch via the telephone and the
internet. I really miss talking with him and probably always will.
I spoke to Margot this morning. She sent me an 8X10 picture of John and Reno
that make me cry and I wanted to thank her and check up on her. She's doing as
well as anyone could expect - this last year was hard on her, too, and in many
ways it's a relief to have it all behind her, knowing that John is at peace and
no longer suffering. But, she is also alone, and that is hard. Thankfully,
she has her animals and her quilting, and she'll be fine, I think. Margot will
be at the national on Friday and Saturday. I think the memorial for our
members who have passed on is Thursday, so she'll miss that, but I know she'd
love to have those of you who knew and loved (and fought with!) John speak to
her.
Margot cannot locate John's membership roster. She would like to have one in
order to acknowledge those who have remembered John on the list and in other
ways. I've offered to copy mine for her if necessary, but would prefer to have
a new copy sent to her. I'll be glad to pay for it - but need to know how to
get hold of one. I've called Dania who is out of town for a week or so. Is
there someone in particular that can provide Margot with a roster? If anyone
knows, please contact me privately.
