Thanks to Pete Flanagan for all his work to get the grounds ready and for hosting this event.Thanks to Billy for all his work and thanks to the judges.Dick Straub was a true patron of the sport and this win is certainly emotional and bitter sweet for me.Last year in failing health Dick gave Brutus to Mike Flewelling and they became partners on him in an effort to give him every opportunity to win.Dick wanted him to have every opportunity to reach the championship goal and he wanted to get 20 championships in his life.Well Brutus got it done for him!!!!!I just got a note from his wife Betsy that Dick passed this afternoon surrounded by family and she said he had a giant smile yesterday when he saw the picture of Brutus and his 20th!!!!!! Thoughts and prayers for his family . John Stolgitis
