From The CC Vault: One Man’s Opinion
did not attend the Great Western Terrier Show this year. It is one of the few years I have missed since its inception.
Great Western was Margaret Young Renihan’s brainchild. Quite a few claimed it would not fly, but it has become one of the great Terrier shows in the country, second only to the Montgomery County Kennel Club in Pennsylvania. Fred Young, Margaret’s husband, and I became good friends in the late ‘40s. I lived in Sun Valley, California and Fred and Margaret lived about a twenty minute drive away in Burbank. I got a call one day from Fred and he asked if I was going to the Phoenix, Arizona show. I told Fred I was going and he asked if I would take one of his Bedlingtons with me and show it there because it needed only one major to finish its championship. I told Fred I would be glad to and I did. The dog won a major. From then on we became very good friends.

The reason may be that it provides the right challenge as the team advances from Novice to Advanced Excellent.
The Big E – Exercise Your Brain
We were forty-five minutes into the turbulence when the first officer pronounced, “We are moving into calmer airspace. Soon the flight attendants will be assuming their excellent service. Feel free to get up and use the restrooms.” With great relief, the flight continued with no more bumps. By then I was wide awake, the fatigue gone, and nearly two hours left in the air.
