I just saw Candi tonight; she was doing registration at Monday night PIR.
She looks great! She looks way too young to retire!!! Everyone who is
racing OBRA now or has raced OBRA during ... (what? the last 20 years?
)...owes Candi a huge debt of gratitude and thanks! I'm stunned by this
news. IMHO, she is simply irreplaceable.
