First beyond a doubt would be Glenda from the GRCA field education committee, an incredible person who goes above and beyond to help and encourage newbies.
Several others, can't limit it to just 2.

Very hard to pick just two because of the wealth of knowledge and genuine good people that frequent the RTF. I could probably list a dozen without thinking real hard about it.

But, staying within the rules:

Ted Shih - An amateur that set out to do whatever it took to become a strong handler. Met the people that are the best in the business and is/was open minded enough to listen and learn from them so that he could then go out and compete, very well, against them. His threads a year or so ago where pictures were posted and he critiques set ups that people submitted were some of the best ever on RTF IMO, along with "Does sit mean sit". I also apreciate his no nonsense approach.

Howard Niemi - An amateur that trains his own dogs and has multiple FC/AFC's to his credit, despite the limitations that training in Alaska present. Provides great information and guidence to training questions and always willing to help.

I have been very fortunate to have met a number of people through RTF.
I can tell you it was a pleasure to meet each of them.
My hope is to remain friends with them for the remainder of my lifetime.

There are many more we have yet to meet.
(some of those meetings are planned already)

But if I really had to pick, it would be a group.

That group would be those Men and Women serving our country right now who grace this board with their posts.

I would like to shake your hand, look you in the eye and THANK YOU!!!

Just sayin'.......

Gosh, I have been so fortunate to meet a whole bunch of you already on my travels. So if I leave your name out, I did not forget but trying to stay focused on "who next?" and c'mon, only two????

#1: Alec Sparks. Every time I read a post of his, I learn a new way of looking at something. His ideas are well expressed and he always seems to have the experience to back up the ideas. Plus, he seems cool and wise, not enough of those out there;-)

#2: Ken Bora. I like his taste in music, dogs, humor and food. So far he hasn't said anything politically to be one of those I used to like until I read POTUS! Ken, I think you would be great fun to meet and have some sage advice regarding rope work as well.

There are tons more I could list, but for once I'm following the rules.

If you haven't net her yet, you need to meet Ms. Becky Mills just to taste those cookies and hear that Good Ole South Ga twang.

I keep hearing about these cookies...I used to see Becky back when she still went to hunt tests, I guess those cookies didn't come about until her field trial days...either that or I wasn't cookie-worthy! Seriously though, she is impossible not to like.

There have been times when I would have liked to meet some RTF'ers just to see if I could choke the crap out of them, but excluding those, I'd like to meet Dr. Ed to see if I could coax some Honcho stories out of him. There are about 25 others that are tied for #2.

Most of the RTF'ers I've met have been people I wouldn't mind seeing again.

I would like to meet a couple RTF'ers who are male, single, over 50, and have most of their own teeth. A dog truck with an extra large hole would be a plus....

Why??? Well, to train dogs, of course! LOL ;)
