One never achieves any type of success in life without some good guidance along the way.

And I have been very fortunate!

To My Grandfather: Who took me hunting and introduced me to this wonderful breed.

To Sterling Honsaker: Who taught me the finer points of good hound work and asked me to continue his kennel name “Merry Music”.

To Virginia Hobby, Helen Daley, Jon Woodring, Wade Burns, Kathy Forbes, & Phil Lipani who have guided me over the years & straightened me out when I needed it.
