He and I attended many events together, and he sometimes stayed with me in my home in San Jose, after he and your grandmother moved to Galt. We often set up lure coursing events together in the San Jose area prior to his move, and I was also a member of the Saluki Club of Greater San Francisco during the time that he was club president.
