Remember When: English Angora on AA Cover in 1984






This is an inflight magazine published by American Airlines in 1984.  An English Angora is on the cover.   The rabbit is nothing like today's English Angora but it's considered as pretty good 29 years ago. 

 
Starting on page 98, there is a report of "bunny business" in WA state.  This unnamed young man would be in his 40s now. 

The barn setting and wooden coops were quite standard in the 80s; such wooden coops are still used in the midwest and east today but no longer popular in CA.

At the left corner the caption says, "Jeff Jewett examines a Silver Marten rabbit".

Jeff Jewett is still an active judge based in WA. Here is a photo of him judging in CA in 2009; where is the bushy beard?
