Starting in November 1999

      I saw my first ASR trial in Barbersville, Florida in November 1999.
	And I was sold!  ASR was the closest thing to what I was doing.

	I drove for 5 hours, 280 miles, round trip 3 days a week to
	work with Ted Hoppe learning the ASR Program.  Believe me, this
	was NOT an easy task!  Ted made me earn everything! :-)
	
	As I learned the program, I helped to add to it.
	2 of my suggestions for advancing the ASR program were:
	
	Level 2 Muzzle:  Added suited decoy
	Level 2:         Anti-Car Jacking exercise, hidden sleeve.

	I also worked to RAISE the standard of decoy work during the
	ASR trials.  I wanted to see each ASR decoy perform each
	exercise not only correctly, but consistantly.

	After 3 years I EARNED the title of Senior ASR Decoy from Ted.
	I am currently one of only two Certified Level 3 Trial Decoy's.
	
	Ted also awarded to me, the ONLY Certified Level 3 ASR
	 "TRAINING" Decoy. Which means I have mastered the skills
	necessary and am qualified to train ASR Decoys up to Level 3.

	In 2003, Ted awarded me a Lifetime Membership to ASR and
	the only Lifetime ASR Decoy.

	I also have videod and edited the
	trials and semimars for all of 2000-2003.
