Dear Editor,
Last Saturday, March 26, was one heck of a day for people who love canine athletes and watching them do what they were born to do.
On behalf of the Fort Leavenworth Rod and Gun Club, all the dog handlers and gunners, our heartfelt thanks goes to the support staff and judges who faced the cold weather, got up early and stayed late, put up and took down the tents, planted birds, filled the wading pools, put out and took in the cones and barriers, manned the command post, posted the scoreboard and took pictures of happy dogs and tired hunters coming out of the field during the Spring 2011 Hunting Dog Competition conducted in Area F.
The Rod and Gun Club also thanks the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation staff for helping the Competition Committee navigate through all of the administrative requirements and arranging for the dike road grading and the comfort facilities placed near the command post. The competition could not have taken place without their collective efforts to support a great outdoor event for the greater Fort Leavenworth community.
On behalf of the Rod and Gun Club, thank you all for volunteering to help make the competition a safe and rewarding experience for the hunters and their canine athlete partners; and thanks to all the dog handlers who put so much love, work and effort in training their four-legged hunting companions.
Yours in safe hunting with a trained and healthy dog,
Kent Ervin
Chairman,
Hunting Dog Competition
