OUR FRONT COVER
Remembering “Miss Jean” Carpenter - see page 12
The American Dog Breeders Association Inc. is committed to the FUTURE.
It is our belief that the future of our noble breed is dependent upon the young
people who know and are involved with the dogs. Because of this commitment,
in 1999, the ADBA Board of Directors established the ADBA LEADERS OF
THE FUTURE SCHOLARSHIP. This is a $1,000 scholarship, which is paid
through the financial aids office of a University, College or Trade School to be
used towards a student’s education expenses.
Joel Halverson, who has been featured in the past, donates beautiful knives
that he makes by hand and the proceeds go toward the scholarship fund.
August is the issue that we announce the winner of the ADBA Leader’s
of the Future Scholarship. I wish that we were able to announce a winner in
this issue... but we didn’t receive any applications this year. We will take the
funds and roll them into next year, and hopefully we will be able to award two
scholarships to some very lucky recipients!
