Joe,
Hate to hear about Ol Sandman. I judged him once and saw him run a couple times and he could really lock on and drive a rabbit. Seems we cant keep the good ones around long enough.

joe himself is not in that great of health. he has been to the hospital several times in the past few monthes. his lungs are in very bad shape. he has to feed and water dogs in shifts, 2 to 3 at a time, because he can't breathe well. prayers would be much appreciated.

Hey J sorry to hear that ole Sandman passed. Remember you and Joe running him at South when he was a derby. Lil bugger growed a lot since then and became a big boy. Furthermore sorry to hear you father's in bad health. Tell Joe I said howdy... always got a kick out of shooting the shiz with him when he came to trials with you.

Got your dad in our prayers. Keep me posted on his progress.

Enjoyed seeing and hearing Sandman run down here in Alabama a few years ago. He was a good one.
