I judged with Marvin at many, many field trials. I can remember back when he judged on his horse, he was one of the very few horse judges that would get off and bust into a thicket to get a crossing on a grey fox race. We had many good memories that we shared including a wild trip to the casinos while we were judging the National. I am really glad we had a chance at the SC State to talk and laugh about some of the stuff we did in the past. RIP old friend.
