I forgot to mention that our tour of the Museum was privately conducted by Wilson Dunn, its founder. We just stopped in unannounced, but he was so welcoming. What a gentleman and very respectful of the fact that we ran “black dogs” (although it was very clear that top notch trial winners must be white and have tails…that stood at twelve o’clock on point. That really hasn’t changed, and I’m at peace with that.)
Anyone remember Dunn’s sporting goods? I still have things purchased from them.
