LINES FROM LINDA AYERS TURNER KNORR: DENNIS MCCOY, ENCOURAGER
After I left the ring at my first show, Judge Dennis McCoy came up to me with lots of words of encouragement. He also gave me tips for showing the next day. He boosted my confidence tremendously. My little Boston and I came back the next day and picked up our very first points under Judge Randy Gar- ren. There is no doubt in my mind that Judge Dennis McCoy is the reason I continued to exhibit and enjoy having success in the ring.” Jeanette Stribling was elected President of the Greenville Kennel Club in 2018. During her tenure, club membership has doubled. She has received the club’s Mem- ber of the Year Award, and in 2020, Jeanette was the recipient of the prestigious AKC Sportsmanship Award. Thanks to Dennis McCoy’s encourage- ment there are many more enthusiastic sup- porters of American Kennel Club activities all around the globe. Let each one of us ask ourselves what we’re doing to inspire the next generation. Take time to make a difference!
