Some of you out in the German Shepherd and Schutzhund world may know Mo Weldon of Kentucky. He was one of the first people I met when I got involved in dog sports many years ago. He was killed today in a traffic accident. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He lived near my sister and she sent me the news this evening.

Here is a link to the news story.

I didn't know him, but I want to pass my condolences to all of his family, friends and aquaintances. It is a horrible tragedy.

This was crossposted from another list to the PDB board:

I am going to begin a scrapbook about Mo for David. If you would like to contribute a memory about Mo, please email me your memory and any photos you may wish to share. Email to chill@doggone.ws

I am honored to start this scrapbook for David. I hope that he will find great comfort in reading our stories as the years pass. Together we can be a positive influence in this dear child’s life by simply sharing a special or humorous story about Mo.

When weeks turn into months and months into years, David will have many questions he will be looking to have answered. He will ask Tammy all kinds of questions about his Dad. Such as “what was Dad like when… he caught his first dog as a helper/trainer? Or how was his journey to become a Mason? What was Daddy like in High School? His favorite childhood memory? Tammy can share these stories with him at age appropriate times of course. J

I pray David will never forget his memories of Mo and that he will take comfort in the memories that you choose to share. Submit 1 or 100, submit now or a month from now. Whether you are family, friend, brother Mason, Kiwanis member, business associate or acquaintance, I need your memories to make this extra special.
