A special thank you to Redgy Ramsey for scheduling this show. Also to David Fugler for putting a special touch to the Ring Announcer’s job, to Harold Kirkes and Nestle Purina without whom there would be no National Bench Show Tour, and to Guy Manning, Bill Cavner, and Gary Puska for their knowledge and professionalism as judges in the ring. And lastly, to Monique Fugler whose knowledge and enthusiasm for PKC shows, combined with her energy, expertise as show director, and excellent record keeping permitted me to stay at home this weekend, THANK YOU one and all!
