Introduction
Hey everyone! Welcome to my new way of keeping all of you informed. I hope to model this after my weekly Facebook posts. Shifting this here will help to keep more people informed. The plan is to drop a new news item right here every Tuesday. Obviously some times of the year are more fast paced than others so the amount of news provided is going to vary greatly from week to week. If you have thoughts or opinions on things to cover here, please feel free to reach out to me.

This week's episode will be the third and final episode of a three part series with Allen Gingerich and I talking about the Top Reproducing Coonhounds, not only of all time, but also during the 2024 calendar year. After you all have had a chance to listen, I'll try to post more information next week.
