Michel In Montreal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Msg: #1 in digest Subject: My First National From: charangsd@xxxxxxx Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 14:49:11 -0500 (EST) My first national was in Tenafly (sp) N.J. in the 60's. I think Bob Williamson judged, GV was Yorkdom's Pax, ROM and GVX was the beautiful Bonnie Bergee of Ken Rose, UDT, ROM. All I really remember about that national (I'm too old) is that I had the BBE dog win the class of over 40 dogs in the class, under the great Marie J. Leary, What a thrill!
