John ,thanks for the kind words.Rip is certainly a nice dog and I am happy for Brian that his first championship as an owner was the grand with 82 dogs.You seemed to capture the work and the efforts of the Michigan Gladwin crew with out even being there.Led by GNC President Tom Fruchey the trial ran smoother than any I had been at.Stake manager and newly legend of the Coverdog and Michigan Director Brian Wood had things running like a Rolex.Announcing every brace organizing Marshall’s and car movers it was seem less.Team Hollister having the horses and trailer where it needed to be was unbelievable. The group of marshals and car movers were incredible and the end of day hanging around the impromptu tailgate parties was memorable,to sip on a bottle with Wayne Fruchey,Roger Johnson,newly recognized legend Doc Holmes and
all the other Michigan cre made it very memorable.They certainly put on a great trial.Many Thanks John Stolgitis
