I met Len and Marilyn in 1969 when Len was our team judge for the 2nd annual Ashern One Box Sharptail Hunt. The event ran for over 20 years and they both remained active in and very supportive of this community event. I have never met finer people and had enjoyed their company on many occasions. Rest in Peace, old friend . - Posted by: Jack Tinsley (Friend) on: May 25, 2016
