Note from Brandi, Who Can't Make It To NSS

I miss you all!! I can't stand not being there, especially since I really thought I would be there up until about 2 weeks ago. This is also the 10th year for my Remis's memorial plaque for Best Junior - I would love to be there to present it to the winner. Remis would say it's ok though, I'm sure. And Denver of all places. I'll be there in about a month during my non- direct trek to Alaska for summer research adventures, prior to beginning my Ph.D. at Clemson University this coming Fall (thus, I've got a really tight budget right now!).

If anyone sees Leita Estes, please thank her - she has stepped up and is going to oversee the Juniors events for me. In fact, it may be appropriate to embarrass her with an announcement! And of course, thanks to Valerie Nunes-Atkinson for giving the juniors seminar again this year (this is year 9 or 10 I believe- thanks Val!).

Please relay to any Juniors (and parents, etc.), that I am still in need of committee members to help facilitate the projects I've proposed to the board last June and this past January. They can contact me by phone or e-mail- or letter if they choose.

I am also sending JS stats to date for 2009 for posting on the GSPCA web site! I'll have those tonight or tomorrow.

I hope you all get the Rocky Mountain High and have a great NSS!!! Take some extra time and go up to Estes Park and go over Trail Ridge Drive if you have a couple of hours. I've even visited with a GSP along that route in a previous trip through there.
