For those of you who remember Jim "Coach" Weitzel, he was a grand person to be around. His jokes and stories about field trials were hilarious. From Billy Voight, Jay Sweezy, Billy Wunderlich, and Bach Doar, to D.L. Walters and Cotton Pershall, and Mike Flannery (who I wish I could have met), I heard them all. We had fun training and having lunch at the picnic table. I could listen to Jim's stories all day long.
