Brice and Craig, let Tom know just how much of a model (and mentor) he has been to me over the years. I just told Pete Hoffman Wednesday how I always respected him as judge in barrow shows -- his placings correlated so close to the final cutout sheets. Few Berk breeders today can probably remember seeing Luke, and realize that his extra muscle and stoutness was such a much needed radical departure of the Berks at the time that began the drive that has probably enabled the breed to be what they are today (together with the devoted and undying support of Tom and Alex's families for four generations). Kudos to all of you in the Conover clan for your perseverance and success.
