I would like to ask for Prayers to be sent to Bill and Tammy Totten and to the Totten family.
Those who attended the PRTA trail in Twin Bridges this past weekend know that Tammy was rushed down to Salt Lake right before the trial. Tammy has been diagnosed with cancer and it is the late stages. Bill and Tammy and their family could use all your thoughts and prayers at this time.
Bill and Tammy could have cancelled the trial, but chose not to. It was Bill and Tammy wishes that the trail go on and that everyone have a good time.
I would like to take a moment to thank all of those who help with make the trial possible this past weekend.
Mike Heard – stepped in to take over as the Chair - this trial could not have taken place without his help in putting the finishing touches in the organization. Mike also worked very hard out in the field and in making sure all the stakes were up and running.
Julie Heard – who stepped in to marshal – helped with pulling together the equipment , workers coolers, lunches and taking care of so many of the other little details that seem to go unnoticed.
The judges – Tom Brannan, Bob James, Alan Madsen, Shonene Garrison, Maruine Coleman and Bert Huth, for being so understanding and working with the new committee. Bert took the time out to judge on his 50th wedding anniversary.
Bill and Tammy’s family, who traveled many miles to step in and take over the BBQ for the tailgate Friday night for the handlers, their strength in this difficult time was amazing and inspiring.
Cindy Huff- Marshalling the open and staying until the end of the AM so that we could have all the workers needed to finish the trial.
Marylin Braken (SP) - For taking care of the judges when they arrived - and Marshalling the Qual and many other little details at the Qual.
David French, who stopped by to watch the derby and ended up running dead birds and helping with the clean up.
Dave and Mary Lee Hooks – who volunteered and worked all day Saturday on very short notice
Lorna Kolstad – who stepped in and marshaled the derby to make sure that the derby ran smoothly.
John Payne - setting up, tearing down, throwing and shooting flyers, and for putting up with me all weekend long.
To all the pro’s who brought help to work in the field and helped when and where they could.
Thank you to all the handlers – who made an extra effort to work with us and make sure that you were at the stakes when we needed you there.
I hope that I did not miss anyone – if I did please forgive me –
Congratulations to those who placed and finished the trail
And once again please keep Tammy, Bill and their family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you -
Kerri Payne
