Lou's Farewell Show

After 23 years of being a judge, Lou has decided to hang up his judge's license. Lou received his judge's license in 1982. He has been active in the show scene for a long time with 23 years judging and putting on shows. The show in Yuba City is sponsored by NCRBA, a club that Lou used to be the president. We called this show "Lou's show". It is fitting that Lou is ending his judging career in this show.

It's a great honor that Lou judged Angora in his farewell show. We were the last breeds in his long distinguish career in judging. In the top photo, Lou is pictured with Chu's Emilia, the last BOB and BIS Lou picked. In the second photo, Lou is judging French Angora with Tracy doing the writing. In the third photo Jane, Lou's wife, pays him a visit. Jane used to be very active in shows too but we don't see her as often now. We were thrilled to see her in Yuba City.

Lou is a good judge and kind person. It is always nice to see such a friendly person with a smile on his face in shows. We will miss him behind the judging table. Lou has been awarded lifetime Registrar's license by ARBA, he will still do registration on a limited basis. We hope to still see him in shows.

Coincidently enough that Betty started showing English Angora the same year as Lou received his license in 1982. Both were in the sane show when Betty showed English Angora for the first time in Cow Palace in 1982. Lou completed his judging career picking one of Betty's rabbits as the Best In Show in Yuba City. Betty feels very honored and thrilled.
