Beloved Friends

[Sagittarian]

Hope this is okay.

I want to remember Sue Johnson - beloved wife and mother, as well as dear friend to many.

Sue was an all breeds judge in Queensland. That, of course, is only one very small part of who she was. Sue and Allan had Lympne St Bernards, as well as Clumber Spaniels. Always enjoying success as an exhibitor and breeder, in recent years Sue's "heart" dog was the beautiful Jack from the USA. He currently leads the breed for the dol pointscore. I had the incredible pleasure recently of judging the North Island St Bernard Championship Show this year and was delighted (after the event) to find I had placed first in a strong Puppy bitch class a daughter of Jack. Rest peacefully dear Sue... you will never be forgotten.

Just very recently - Anne Roger Clarke - all rounder from the US/Canada? who has many times visited our shores. In 1982, she judged Saints at Sydney Royal show and I had the great privilige of my gorgeous girl winning Challenge bitch - Aust/Nz Ch Sedna I'm Sigrid.

Bill O'Hehir - who oversaw the Vic judges training program for so long. RIP Bill - I miss our conversations.

Please feel free to add your favourite people to this page... we need to honour and recall those who have influenced us in any way.

I'd like to remember Bill and Joy Kinsman, both wonderful people, Joy gave me my first 'in group' award many, many years ago. So many of our great judges and dog people have gone, RIP all of them.
