It is.
I was fortunate enough to spend about 5 years with one of the true competitors in the sport (faced guys like Mayfield, Burton, Junior Bush, Crenshaw, Strothers, Hargrove, Tant, Indian Sonny, Miller, Rebel Kennels, Meador, etc.) ... and was behind such dogs as these: Gr Ch Dooley (8xW), Gr Ch Zinc (6xW), Gr Ch Robert T (9xW), Ch Robert T Jr. (4xW), Gr Ch Tornado (10xW), Gr Ch Junior (6xW) ... and faced such dogs as Gr Ch Luthor (5xW), Gr Ch Sampson (5xW, 5x BIS), Gr Ch Outlaw (7xW), Gr Ch Melonhead (14xW), etc.
The dude was a virtual treasure trove of core gamedog history, including the fact he personally saw the original Eli go, as well as BullySon and Eli Jr.
Lots and lots and lots of good info
