juliepoudrier Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi all, I was just wondering how many of you who participate on these boards are planning to attend the finals as spectators (we know who the competitors are)? I would love to meet any (or all) of you and finally put a face to the names I have come to know well here.... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucknjill Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 So are you gonna go??? You will have a blast! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted August 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Yep, I was originally planning to just go for the open runs, but since I have novice friends running in nursery, I'm hoping to take the whole week off so I can watch the open handlers like you, as well as the newbies like Felicity and Nancy compete in nursery. So what if that means I won't have any vacation time come Christmas (when we are required to use a week of our leave)? I think it's going to be a great time, not to mention an awesome learning experience! Hmmmm....I guess I ought to talk to someone about volunteering while I'm there, huh? J.

Mary & Dogs Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 I think I should go again this year and wear my famous "Please Don't Eat the Animals" tee shirt. It was such a hit the first time! Man, when I screw up I really screw up! ------------------ Mary Hartman Kansas City, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikw Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Mary, It cannot be as bad as,driving into NIH's faculty parking lot with much earlier version of PETA,proudly displayed on my back window. Have you seen the one with a Golden Retriever behind bars? I thought I was dead meat.... Julie, I'll be there but not running just standing on the sideline and shouting at Sam...(go girl,go) You can find me hanging out with Bobby F. (listening to dirty jokes du jour) or Sarah Boudreau (more likely gossiping) but I never repeat them,so you have to listen carefully. ------------------ Inci Willard Clearville,PA 814-784-3414 ikw@pennswoods.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucknjill Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 BAHAHAHHAH Hope you all dont make it for the nursery...your chants of go girl go might be real ones Inci, if I choose to Run Toddy! As Scott Glenn so aptly named him, the "Silencer of the Lambs"....sigh.... Ah well, pinning my hopes for a respectable performance on Open this year and Todd, Floss and Maddie will have to wait for next year.... Glad you are both going, sure is nice to look up after you have almost wet yourself standing at that post and see a friendly face smiling at ya!

Keswick Farm Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Did I hear the word Volunteer? I could use help at the Eye Clinic any time on Tuesday and Wednesday. I have one volunteer coming all the way from Australia to meet Greg and watch the trials, but more are better. Let me know. ------------------ Sally Lacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Sally, I would be thrilled to volunteer to help at the eye clinic. I have been meaning to find out if it's possible to have one of my (noncompeting) dogs eye tested while I'm there --perhaps you can answer that question as well? Anyway, I have not made final plans for attending the finals, but I do hope to be there for the whole week, so I'll mark it on my calendar. Doing volunteer work allows me to justify all that time off work! Do you need a final answer right away or can I let you know for sure in about a couple of weeks (I just don't want to say I'll be there and have you turn other folks away and then be told I can't have the whole week off and leave you in a bind....) If you'd prefer to discuss this privately, I can be reached at poudrier@inteliport.com or Julie.Poudrier@msfc.nasa.gov Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Sally and Sam, I'd like to put my name (and Tal's) in the hat for volunteer work, too. I can scribe, work the pens, be a go-fer, whatever... I'm not sure how much time I can off from work, but plan on (at least) being there for the semi-fianls and finals. If I can wicker more time during the week, Sally, you can put me to work, too. Sam, do you have Robin's e-mail address or can you give her mine?
