Cindy W. has had her judge's license for a long time; she judged Angora in major national level shows many times. Included but not limit to are the following shows: 1979 ARBA convention in AZ; 1986 Angora National in Puyallup, WA; 1990 Angora National in Ventura, CA; 1991 ARBA convention in Pomona, CA; 1998 Angora National in Reno, NV; 2002 Angora National in Eugene, OR; 2003 ARBA convention in Wichita, KS; and the current 2008 convention in Louisville, KY.

Candy H. is the most "durable" Angora breeder in the nation. She brought in some albums from the past conventions. There is one photo in her album that is of most interest: Cindy judging English Angora in 1979 at the ARBA convention in AZ between the writer and the table ramrod. A similar picture was also taken in the current convention. Here are these two photos.

Time flies, it has been 29 years between these two symmetric photos.
