Randy Wilson, an AQHA judge and friend to many in Indiana has been battling cancer for over 6 years and it seems he may be near the end of this battle. He was to come and judge the IQHA Futurity show this month, but called and cannot come since he cannot tolerate the trip and I am sure the time in the ring. Those who are near him say he is quite weak and very thin. 
 If you would like to assist with his medical bills, they are taking contributions at the address below: 
Contributions can be sent to:
Randy Wilson Crisis Fund
2105 Ellington Lane
Ballground, GA 30107

Our sympathies to Amber Armstrong and Family.

Amber’s father Cliff Armstrong from Southern California passed away Sunday 12/28/08 unexpectedly. Cliff was a PRCA contestant and competed in the Steer Wrestling event at multiple NFRs in his career. He later judged at rodeos and hauled Amber’s half-sister Skyler and stepsister Chelsea to Junior rodeos and while they competed he would assist the boys in chute dogging. He did stunt work on several movies such as City Slickers and The Bodyguard. His larger than life personality and love of rodeo and its people will be sadly missed for many a year to come. Amber is quite devastated by the loss and your thoughts and prayers will be appreciated.
