Brian and His "Girl Friend"








Brian from OH usually has a "girl friend" with him when he travels to shows. Sherry is very pretty, very friendly and nice to talk to.

Most people ended up with a big surprise as Sherry is Brian's mother!

Betty asked Sherry in one of the ARBA conventions about her "beauty secret" to stay so young and pretty. Sherry said, "I don't worry about things, I try to be happy, one beer a day and Oil of Olay!" Betty also learned that Sherry got married in her teens and has two children, Brian is the baby of the family. Sherry and Brian's dad have been married for over 30 years and have several grand children. Sherry certainly does not fit the image of a grandma!

At the top, Brian and Sherry are discussing the French Angora that Brian is judging. In the second picture, Brian is commenting that English Angora tort senior buck Joey's coat flows like a Jellyfish in the ocean. We caught Sherry by herself in the third photo.
