I currently live in San Diego - Valley Center to be exact. Originally from the Bay Area, I grew up in San Jose and Saratoga. I have raised, shown and judged Collies for 45+ years. I love history and am the author of several award winning historical books on the Collie. I have a great fascination and a deep respect for my family members that lived in the past. Wish I could go back in time and visit them now that I am an adult! Some of them I never knew and I feel that is certainly my loss......... The ones I did know, I would love to revisit.

"That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind" William Wordsworth
