WKC NEWS UPDATE
AKC Judge Gregg Caliendo, who is disabled when it comes to walking, was slowly making his way to the photographer's set-up for Group and Best In Show photos at last summer's shows. Please note Mr. Caliendo's cane (and hat) in his left hand, waving as he hollered, "I'm coming!" WKC member Sandy Patterson, who is confined to her speedy motorized wheelchair, came along and invited him to hop aboard. It was so hilarious that Kim Booth snapped a picture. It has taken this long to arrive at the web master's house. Enjoy, because it was a joyful moment!
