12 years ago, I was 68 years old when I went to my first open training day at the Inland Valley RC with my 4-month-old pup. I said something lame like at my age this would probably be my last dog. Someone laughed and pointed to “Gordy”. “See that man? He has a dog about the same age as yours. He’s 93!” I think Gordy was the most optimistic man I’ve ever met.
