Spotlight Member: We would like to feature some of our long time NSTRA members in the magazine. We would like for you to submit nominations for this. Like the longest running member in your region? The member who was key in starting or maintaining the region throughout the years. The member who is always helping out with the trials. Tell us what makes that person special. Minimum Requirements for NSTRA Hall of Fame Nominations 1. A dog must be a 10 time champion and have won a regional elimination trial. 2. A dog must be at least a 5 time champion and placed in the final four during a NSTRA championship trial. Important! All entries to Championship trials will only be taken by telephone, email, fax and regular mail. Important! Only those persons qualified as a field marshal are to marshal trials. Also, all trials should have a qualified marshal at the field the entire length of the trial. Many trial reports are coming to the office with people listed as field marshals who in fact are only members. DISCIPLINARY POLICY “Effective September 1, 2007 all decisions of the NSTRA Board of Directors which result in any form of disciplinary action affecting any NSTRA member are required to be contained in the magazine next published after the disciplinary decision is rendered by the NSTRA Board of Directors. The information so published will be the name, membership number and region of the NSTRA member affected, along with the disciplinary action so levied by the NSTRA Board of Directors, and the time period governed by the NSTRA Board of Directors decision.” Amateur Trials The Amateur Trials are now listed on our website. If anyone had a placement which was listed as pending, please send the information to the office with the registration #, name, sire/dam, and whelp date to the office. Also, incude the date of the trial and owner/handler. Procedure for Change of Ownership The NSTRA national office needs a copy of the new registration with the new owner's name, OR a copy of the front and back of the current registration, showing previous owner, and the signature on the back confirming transfer of ownership, submitted with a $5.00 change of ownership fee. This applies only to dogs that have placed and are already in the database. The date of change will be the date the above completed information is received in the NSTRA office. Hall of Fame Nomination In an effort to recognize and honor those deceased dogs which have contributed significantly to the ideals and goals as established under the original constitution and by-laws of nstra, we have devised the following plan. We feel this plan will take the politics out of our hall of fame endeavor and the most worthy dogs will be inducted each year. Each dog will be rated according to his win history. Categories will include National Championship Wins, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Runner-up National Championship placements, Number of nstra championships, Top Performance award, and Regional Wins. The period for submitting a nomination will open on November 1 of each calendar year and close on April 1 of the following year. The nominations will then be given to the Hall of Fame committee and the win history on each nomination will be thoroughly checked and scored according to the following system with the 2 inductees being announced at the Dog of the Year trial in October. The Hall of Fame committee will score the nominated dogs in the following manner; one point will be given for each win under each of the above categories in paragraph 2. For example, if a dog has won the dog of the year trial twice, he will be given 2 points under national championship wins. If he was also a regional winner one time he will be given one point under regional wins. Understand, the preceding two categories, plus top performance award must be first place wins. Under 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner-up National Championship placements one point will given for 1st 2nd or 3rd placements. If a dog is a 12 time nstra champion, he will be given 12 points under number of nstra championships. When all the dogs have been scored in this manner on the worksheet, we will come back to each category giving the highest scoring dog under each category one point, the 2nd highest scoring dog 2 points and so on. In this manner, the dog with the lowest amount of points will be the first inducted dog with the 2nd lowest scoring dog being the 2nd inducted dog. When appropriate, due to unusual circumstances, an additional dog may be inducted into the Hall of Fame by becoming the “board of directors pick.” This may be a dog who has not won under many of the above categories, but may have made significant contributions to nstra by other means, i.e. having sired an unusual amount of nstra Champions, winning numerous Regional Championships only to mention a few areas that the board of directors might deem Hall of Fame material. In case of a 2-way tie for first, both dogs will automatically be inducted. If there should happen to be a tie for 2nd, the dog with the most 4th place wins will be the inductee. Nominations of dogs to the nstra Hall of Fame are not “carried over” to following years should the dog not be elected in the year nominated. Plainly stated, a dog that does not get elected to the Hall of Fame in the year nominated must be re-submitted each year in order to be considered for election. WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 7 i g AR-LA I West-Ark Field Trial November 6, 2011 - AR-LA Region by glen cumbie I was sitting under the tent getting ready to watch the next brace go out. The two individuals braced together were two people I think the world of, Jim Kell and Al Forbes. While I was sitting there waiting, the thought occurred to me that the two men who had just left the line had 158 years between them. Mr. Kell and Mr. Forbes are still very competitive, and always play by the rules. It was a very pleasant and surreal feeling for me to watch that I asked for this picture to be taken at the end of the brace.

Sidney Bryant was a member of the Ohio Region, who was tragically killed on Sunday April 5th, 2009. Sidney was a member and friend to many people and an amazing trainer to many a bird dog. Sydney was the man to go to if you had a training problem or just a question on what to do, to train your dog. He could also stand around for hours and talk about the pedigree of many a dog. Members of the Three Rivers Bird Dog Club have chosen to keep Sidney’s name alive by having a memorial trial. Hopefully, this is a tradition that will last for many a year to come. Trial results from the Sydney Bryant Memorial were as follows: Sydney Bryant Saturday February 18th, 2012 1st Place Spud’s Mountain Choice 2nd Place Rhodus Woolum B 3rd Place Woolum Bart Maveric 4th Place Turtlecreek Dixi Handled by Loen Lockard.

April/may 2012 i 12 i www.nstra.org UTAH I january and february trials If you are looking for a fun and exciting place to stretch your legs and paws, look no further. The Utah NSTRA region has tons to offer. Only minutes from world class skiing, National parks and breathtaking views, Utah will give you an experience that you will never forget. We encourage all to visit this wonderful arena to enjoy as we do. On Feb. 18th and 19th Utah NSTRA held a trial in Roosevelt Utah. The snow covered Uintah Mountains were the perfect backdrop for what was to become a perfect weekend. February trials in Eastern Utah can be a challenge for both trial chairman as well as members. In the past years cold weather and deep snow have discouraged bird dogs to escape their warm kennels, last year proved this by frigid temperatures and 18” of snow. It sometimes takes a little encouragement to motivate handlers to traverse the icy mountain terrain to come out and play. This year was no problem. An abnormal warm winter and low snow levels allowed members to arrive from all over the state with no problems and full of excitement. Saturday morning greeted us with a wonderful clear day. The dog gods parted the clouds allowed the sun to shine, it was time to “let em’ go”. Braces went without a hitch. Dogs were finding birds like no other and the bon fire stories were getting bigger and bigger. We had an awesome lunch and before long the last brace was over. Then came Sunday. We awoke to three inches of snow and the flakes were falling hard. The Arizona boys that came to trial with us were cold, not used to the wet conditions I am guessing, but the trial continued. By lunch the snow had stopped and had started to melt. Our judges had no longer begun to dry off and the weekend was over. Another great time in Utah. Awesome dog work and great company made this trial a hit. Thanks to all who pitched in to make things run so smoothly. Trial chairmen were Lance Neilson and Randall Bennett. Maurine Goodrich always does a great job as trial marshal. Also a special thanks to Ron Horn for supplying us with the birds and buddies to make this trial a go. Judges were: Ron Horn, Kip Bottomly, Brad Jenkins, Tom Kosmack, Chad Jones, and Randall Bennett. We will be hosting “THE BEST OF THE WEST” a triple/triple on April 27, 28, 29th In Lehi, Utah. This is an awesome three day weekend that in the past has challenged the best of dogs. For more information contact Matt Tanner at 520-343-1284.

Floyd is from Huber Heights Ohio and has been a member for over 30 years. He has held many positions in the club from bird planter, to judge, field marshal, trial chairman and treasurer. He was treasurer for the Ohio region and Three Rivers close to 15 years. Floyd retired from Chrysler Corporation, in Dayton Ohio. On many a day Floyd would work his day job and then come to the trial grounds to compete or to pick up his paperwork for the treasurer position. Floyd has trained many dogs in those 30 years. Not only has he trained his dogs but many of the other members dogs as well. Floyd is one of the members people go to when they have a training problem or questions. If you have a dog not training as it should, there is a very good chance Floyd will know what to do. If you get a chance to enter a trial in the Ohio region and especially Three Rivers Bird Dog Club, chances are you will meet Floyd. He will be the one in the clubhouse telling stories and welcoming everyone who comes in. n WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 15 i Floyd with Wildfire Max Floyd is telling another member Tom Berry many of his stories. g by Bill, Susan and Brice Bohn Tash’s Lulu June 1999-September 2011 Lulu was a NSTRA National Champion NSTRA Training Video Only $20.00 Lulu was born in June of 1999 to a daughter of Crow’s Little Joe and Wind Jammer’s Sally. Lulu was the runt of the litter. Professional trainer Chuck Tash of Florence Alabama whelped the litter, trained Lulu, and sold her to me as a three year old. As far back as I can remember, I have always loved hunting dogs. I was in my late twenties when I started thinking about buying my first hunting dog. My dad advised me to go out to a local field trial and start the hunt for a broke dog. I made my way out to a Gulf Coast Region NSTRA trial in Katy, Texas, and it was a day that would change and enrich my life forever. I was greeted warmly as a dogless observer by many friendly members, but two members are forever etched in my mind as they are, two of the finest men I have ever met. They are Gene Olsen and Bill Spaar. They were wily old vets who immediately took me under their wings and have been wonderful friends and mentors ever since in and out of the field. Through Gene’s advice, I started the process of finding a dog out of the famous Crow‘s Little Joe. I tracked down Anthony and Suzy Crow, and they directed me to Chuck Tash, saying he was a very good trainer. Chuck is another NSTRA member who has enriched my life with his friendship. I was about to get very lucky, as my timing was perfect. Lulu was Chuck’s dog, and he was handling dogs successfully for Roy Burchel. It did not make sense for Chuck to continue to run his own dogs. Lulu was a NSTRA champion, and Chuck had just placed her second at the Dixie Regional Championship. I bought Lulu from Chuck, but as part of the deal I promised to let Chuck run her at a national trial. When we brought Lulu home to Texas from Chuck’s in Alabama, she had never ridden in a car, and had never been in a house. It didn’t take her long to get used to the good life as a house dog, but she didn’t lose her winning ways. The first time I trialed her, she went 4-4 and placed second. I was hooked. Lulu was a good bird finder, slammed her birds (once receiving a 98) and she was a great retriever. She deserved a far better handler than me. Chuck proved this when, as part of my purchase agreement, he ran her one last time at the 2003 Quail Invitational. Chuck had a great bond with Lulu and handled her masterfully, beating out 127 other dogs to win the three day trial—what a thrill to watch. That would be her last run with Chuck.

Over the next few years I had a blast trialing and wild bird hunting Lulu all over Texas, putting a couple more championships. She also won the Tri-Regional Challenge where three regions’ best 10 dogs get together and battle it out. Lulu had a fun and quirky personality both in the field and at home. She is greatly missed around our house, as my four-year-old son often reminds me. Lulu’s impact on my life caused me to be so thankful for many great people and things in my life. First, my Dad, Eddie, for exposing me to hunting dogs and the outdoors. Chuck Tash, for his integrity and skill in training many great dogs (you will never meet a more honest guy in the dog business). My NSTRA friends who, in a sense, Lulu introduced me to: Bill Spaar, Scott Thomas, Orin Ozias, Gene Olson, and too many others to count. They have enriched my life greatly. It has been a great experience and that is what life is all about. Lulu passed in September of cancer at the age of twelve. Thanks Lulu, you will never be forgotten. We all miss you.

Date Zip: Member Information National Shoot-To-Retrieve Field Trial Association Dear fellow member: During the past few weeks the National Officers have been engaged in discussions about how to provide the membership at large with opportunities to participate in national trials as officials in the capacity of judges, field marshals and bird planters. This discussion is always tempered by our desire to maintain the highest quality standards possible as we seek to expand the pool of eligible individuals who can offer their expertise to the organization. To this end, we have established minimum criteria that will allow individual members to submit their names for the consideration of the National Officers to serve as trial officials. Criteria for judges ____ Must have a judges’ license for a minimum of four years and have judged at least 25 trials. Should also have judged trials outside their own region and preferably judged at the regional level; ____ Show evidence that the individual stays current with the rules by having participated in local judging seminars within the last year; ____ Should be available to serve as a judge when called; ____ Must show evidence of involvement in their local region by participating in trials handling dogs and judging; ___Must be endorsed by the local regional board. Criteria for Field Marshals ___Must have experience by having served in a minimum of 20 local trials as a field marshal and have the required field marshal certification as stated in the Rules; ____ Regional board of directors must certify that the individual has attended local seminars and is knowledgeable in the rules. Criteria for Bird Planters ___Experience planting birds in local and regional trials as certified by the Regional board of directors; ___ Support their local region in other activities besides bird planting, for example: judging trials, handling dogs or chairing trials. It is the intention of the National Officers to select trial officials from within a geographic location of the country within reasonable proximity to the trial site, and as such provide more opportunities for members to participate as national officials, while at the same time attempting reduce the costs that may be incurred by bringing in trial officials who live far away from the national trial sites. If you are interested in being selected to serve as a national trial official, we ask that you submit to our office a letter indicating your interest and delineating you experience and qualifications. This information should be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from your regional board supporting your application. We strongly believe that NSTRA belongs to all its members, and offering this opportunity to serve in this capacity is an excellent way to have more members become true stakeholders in our organization. As always, we remain committed to serving you, and ask that you contact the national officer assigned to your region if you should have any questions about this letter or any other issue of interest to you. Sincerely yours, Your National Officers WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 19 i g Buddy’s Mini-Cooper “Cooper” is a 5 year old, white and orange male Brittany a/k/a “Fluffy"; “that Toilet Seat Cover"; or “the Pointer in a Brittany’s body”; all affectionately named by fellow region member and friend, Tim Faas. Coop came to Bruce and I from Jim Doughty out of the MoKan Region and he was sired by Nolan’s Last Bullet and TJ’s Microbean’s Ginger Snap both of whom are no longer with us. I remember talking to Jim about the pups and looking at pictures and listening and trusting Jim about which one he thought would be a NSTRA dog. Every time I saw pictures of the pups Coop was always the one back by the quail pen watching the birds. Coop has a history and a real extended family. Coop started out with Bruce and I and Bruce loved the little guy to pieces. He even got to shoot some birds over him before he passed on thanks to Butch Butler and Jim Bishop. The one thing I remember Bruce telling me is “keep him going because I think this is the one we’ve been looking for”. Coop spent several months with Butch Butler for his training period and then Butch ran him putting several of his points towards his first championship on him after Bruce passed on. One interesting event at Butch’s place was when one of his fishing buddies was at his place and said “Butch, you’re not going to believe this but Coop’s in a tree” … and yup, he was. Coop had jumped from the ground to the Y in the tree and was walking out on the limb to get a squirrel. About two years or so ago Sam Ashmore then took on the little “P-head” and after some harassing from the pointer guys about running a “Brittany”, some fine tuning and bonding time, he and Sam became one. Interesting enough the first time Sam met Coop was when Bruce was showing him off as a pup to Sam and Clayton. Sam turned around and Coop nipped him on the butt; little did he know at that time he’d end up handling him. Sam, Nancy, Clayton and Brandi have made him, and me, part of their family and even little “Rosie” their Jack Russell has accepted him. Coop comes home and stay with me, or stays at Sam’s and he adjusts just like he hasn’t been gone from either place; he just takes over where ever he is. At home he listens to me, but the minute Sam shows up at my place or I turn in the club entrance, I don’t exist and he’s all Sam’s. It’s no wonder why, at Sam’s place Coop can be found right by Sam’s side or sharing the recliner and wing house wings! You know no one will every convince me that there isn’t a greater power out there… during the final hour Sam and Coop were tied up with Gary and Gator with 4-4 apiece, except Coop had a back; but during the last 15 seconds of the hour brace Coop hit point, Sam flushed, shot and Coop retrieved the bird and then I heard a loud war whoop from the field and here comes Sam carrying Coop out of the field hugging him. However, the moving part of the event for me was that Coop hit the point and finished up on “A” field where Bruce’s ashes are spread. I know Bruce was sharing the ride with Sam and Coop; and I know he was watching and cheering them on!!! Bruce was saying the same thing I was, “Great job Sam and here’s to many more birds being shot over the little “P-Head”. n NSTRA Membership Annual Dues $50. Associate Membership $20.

April/may 2012 i 20 i www.nstra.org WWW.NSTRA.ORG i 21 i g by Martin Hargeseimer, WTX SPOTLIGHT MEMBER July 31, 1935, a baby boy is born to Edwin and Stella Moore at their home in Pampa, Texas. Buddy Moore began his life on this day and where Buddy spent his childhood. He attended Pampa high school, and was very active in sports and also met the love of his life, Marjorie. Buddy followed his football coach from Pampa, Texas to Texas AM Buddy and Marjorie University and played football for two years. After marrying Marjorie in 1955, they moved to Mississippi and worked there for a few years. In 1967 they moved to Lubbock, Texas and Buddy went to work for the Methodist Hospital and continued there for the next 30 years. Buddy and Marjorie have three children, two boys and a girl. They also have five grandchildren, three girls and one set of twin boys. Buddy began training bird dogs and became very interested in wild game bird hunting with his colleagues. After a couple of seasons of wild bird hunting he and his colleagues determined that the seasons were much too short and they wanted to spend more time wild bird hunting with their dogs. This is when Buddy became interested in field trailing. One of Buddy’s colleagues became the new president of the South Plains pointer club, and soon Buddy became a member as well. After looking into different field trial organizations he became a member of the National Shoot to Retrieve Association in March 1987. Buddy had several dogs at this time all of which were capable of running field trials. Buddy started his NSTRA career by competing in field trails all over Texas, Oklahoma and any place else he could find a field trial. He is ready, willing and able to run as many as five dogs per trial, if needed. Buddy had seven dogs in his career that were multitime champions and two dogs were one time champions.

In early 2000 he became a National Shoot to Retrieve judge where he judged many trials all over the country. Many of the areas trials he attended were in West Texas Region, Mokan Region and Lone Star Region. When Buddy began judging full time, Wayne Denyou took over the job of handling his dogs. Wayne handled Buddy’s dogs for several years until he moved back east. Buddy also served on the West Texas Region Board of Directors for several years. He supports both the National Shoot to Retrieve organization and the NSTRA scholarship fund with monetary donations and supplies many of the auction items. He has been a mentor to many new members, young dog handlers and always available to answer questions. His advice over the years is very appreciatedand he is truly a good friend.

As we utilize four fields, there are few places to accommodate a trial of this size and the Florida Field Trialers step up to the plate each year for this fun filled event. Many “snow birds” come from the Northern States to enjoy the beautiful weather and do a little sightseeing during their stay. What could be better than running a championship trial, visiting Mickey Mouse and swimming in the ocean in less than a 100 mile radius? Although the weather “up north” had not been unusually cold, it’s still nice to come to Florida and trial in t-shirts and shorts. Judging the event were Ron Huels, Ron Becker, and Frank Llano – Illinois Region; Donny Parker – Arkansas; Stan Perdue – Georgia; and Butch Butler, James Carver and Billy Trawick – Florida. Bird handlers were Bo Marcum – Mo-Kan and Lonnie Jones – Missouri-Show-Me. Field marshals were Nancy Ashmore and Dana Walker – Florida; Cookie Anderson – Northern Illinois and Stacy Holder – Wisconsin. With officials of this caliber, there is little worry for the Trial Chairman; until you’ve chaired a championship event, no one knows how important these people are. They are the backbone of an event of this size and we appreciate the efforts of each one of these dedicated individuals. These people work hard to make sure they are being fair and and as accurate as humanly possible during these championship trials and we cannot thank them enough for the time they take to preside during these three days. A pre-trial was held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the previous weekend chaired by the Officers and Board of Directors of the Florida Region. Four fields were utilized for this event giving everyone a chance to run on their respective field for their championship run. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was served throughout the weekend with BBQ ribs and chicken served on Saturday evening and a complimentary spaghetti dinner served by the CFFT Club on Sunday evening. As there are too many people to name individually, we thank the club as a whole for the fine meals served during the pre-trial and throughout the week. On Wednesday evening, the CFFT Club held an evening cocktail party; heavy on the hors d’oeuvres and canapés. The tables were beautifully decorated and everyone spent an enjoyable evening visiting with old and new friends. As the championship trial rolled around, the cooks were STILL in the kitchen serving meals to handlers and families from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. On Thursday morning prior to the breakaway, a short meeting was held with trial officials and chairmen to explain boundaries, safety zones and participate in a short prayer service for the weekend event. Suvoyee Rudd also began the trial with a short prayer prior to the Flag Raising ceremony conducted by Gary May with the playing of our National Anthem.

The die had been cast with Sam and Cooper running against Gary and Gater for the coveted title of Quail Invitational National Champion. The winner would join a long list of finalists from 1989 to the present day. The final brace would begin at 2:30 and both men and dogs were taking a well deserved rest before the one hour brace. As the gallery made their way back to the viewing stand, the marshals, Nancy and Dana gave the handlers their final instructions detailing the boundaries and safety areas while Lonnie placed the birds throughout both A and B Fields. Ron Becker and Ron Huels were ready for their judging duries and at 2:30 judges, handlers and dogs came to the starting line. Both chose A field to start the brace and we were under way. It was an exciting hour and we did not know the outcome of the brace until the handlers once more made their way off the field. It was at that point we learned that Sam with Cooper had scored on 5 finds, 5 retrieves and a back while Gary and Gater had put 4 finds and 4 retrieves on the card. Cooper’s score was 1056 points while Gater’s was 801 points. It was a great finish for two super handlers and 2 phenomenal dogs. Cooper’s co-owner, Sharron Watson, and Sam’s family were waiting to welcome Sam and Cooper to the front with open arms. The awards ceremony awaited the Top Four at the clubhouse and after a short rest, the crowd headed that way. Trial Chairman, Marilyn Cunningham, CFFT President David Demeza and Purina Representatives, Dean Reinke and Ray Cacchio would make the trophy presentations to the final four winners. The seventh runner-up was Gamble’s Little Joe owned by Sharon Gamble and handled by Jeff Gamble from the Dixie Region. Joe is from Nolan’s Last Bullet and Babe’s Cindy Rae. He is an 8x NSTRA Champion and 1x Regional Champion with 145 lifetime points. Congratulations to Joe and the Gamble family. Sixth runner-up was Kickapoo Molly’s Revenge, owned and handled by Roger Parient from the Indiana Region. Molly is a 12x NSTRA Champion, 1x Regional Champion and had won the 2009 and 2010 Quail Invitational Championship. She has 221 lifetime points. Congratulations to Roger and Molly. Fifth runner-up was Gamble’s Hoss, owned by Rachel Crossland and handled by Travis Crossland. Hoss is a 3x NSTRA Champion and litter mate to Gamble’s Little Joe. He has 69 lifetime points and is a 1x Regional Champion. Congratulations to the Crossland family and Hoss. Kickapoo’s X Factor “Rock”, owned by Roger Parient and handled by Harold Smith, was the fourth runner-up. Rock is from Boomer’s X Rated “Johnny” and B’s Midnight Roven. He has 4 lifetime points and our congratulations go out to Roger, Harold and Rock. The third runner-up was Smoke Creek Dude, 4 year old German Wirehair Pointer Male, owned by George Sterner from the Florida Region. Dude is from St. Croix’s Easy Money and Smoke Creek’s Luschi. Dude placed 4th on 2/13/11 C Field and D Field at the Wagon View Trial. On 10/2/11 he also placed 2nd at the Great West LLC Trial. On 1/14/12 Dude earned another 2nd place at the CFFT trial. Although fairly new to the association, Dude and George are off to a rip-roaring start. George also have two sons, Geoff and George IV, who are trialing and members of the CFFT club. It is a family affair with wives, Tina and Lisa also on hand. George received 112 pounds of Purina Pro Plan and the Purina Winner’s Jacket presented by Dean and also received a gift certificate from Tri-Tronics, Foster and Smith, Dogs Unlimited and Red Haw Supply. The 4 finalist also received the Winner’s Belt Buckle, presented by David Demeza donated by the Central Florida Field Trialers in memory of Pap Heddon; Sharron Watson made the presentation of a beautiful NSTRA license plate donated in memory of her late husband, Bruce Watson and Jim Mahoney presented each of the Top Four with a t-shirt donated by JB’s Restaurant, Lake Wales. Frank Llano, NSTRA Treasurer made the NSTRA trophy presentation along with the NSTRA wall plaque made by Richie Hight, Reno, NV. Each received EMT Gel, Prozyme and Trophy Dyne from Trophy Animal Health Care. Congratulations to Dude, George and the entire Sterner Family and welcome to the NSTRA Family.

Morgan and Meagan no longer cry when they leave us, but Madison shed a few tears. These girls have grown up in NSTRA and it’s always such a great time when they are around.

It Is amazing how fast the word travels across the country to our NSTRA family. We are truly humbled and blessed to have such wonderful friends.” said Sharron Watson. n HIGHLIGHTS: The Top 16 finishers from Friday afternoon were all presented with a bag of Purina Pro Plan and dog bowl from Purina and EMT Gel, Prozyme and Trophy Dyne from Trophy Animal Health Care. It’s a great accomplishment to finish in the Top 16 of a trial of this magnitude. Each of these 16 handlers should be very proud of this accomplishment. All handlers received a Purina tote bag, dog food bowl and bags of Purina Pro Plan from Purina along with a trial hat, hat pin and flash light from NSTRA. Suvoyee Rudd became NSTRA’s Unsafe Poster Child when he was seen driving by the B Field on his 4-wheeler, with a shotgun in one hand, his dog trailing along behind the bike, a drink in the other hand, talking on his cell phone. This is one multi-tasking guy. Be sure to ask Donny Parker about the tamale his fellow judges fixed for him on his way to the airport Saturday after the trial. He was heard saying he couldn’t even talk and his head was burning up. Donny, why do you use so much hot sauce? It was noted that Bo Marcum doesn’t answer his cell phone for just anyone. We’re wondering why the trial chairman can always get an answer. A special thank you to Bruce Van Vliet for his part in making sure that everything is ready for the trial. It was said that he was going to change his name, but we’ll let you know when that happens. Seriously, Bruce does a terrific job making sure that all is ready. He and Ralph Harrell can be found from 11 to 1 every day at the grill cooking hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. It was a fun time for all and we appreciate all the hospitality and sportsmanship displayed during the week!
