Carman and I met in 1976. Being schoolteachers, we usually had the same time off. We dated for four years and were married in 1980. We love to travel and have been todate on 10 cruises. My favorite was Alaska while Carman enjoyed Europe. I too loved Italy and Greece but prefer cooler weather. (See dagored digitals for links to vacations.)
Since I grew up with Boxers, I knew someday we would be able to own one. In 1982 we joined the St. Clairsville Kennel Club and learned about dogs and showing. Soon afterwards, we purchased our first Boxer. In 1983 we purchased our first show dog.
Carman and I are members of the American Boxer Club, officers in the Allegheny Boxer Club, and officers in the St. Clairsville Kennel Club. Margie is also a member of the Ohio Boxer Club.
In 2006 we both retired to enjoy traveling and the challenge of finishing our new puppy, Dex.
