Happy Birthday to Him. Today he would have been 85!

Thanks for the lovely reminder Marianna! I remember one year I called Howard on his birthday and he seemed truly surprised and grateful that I should remember. We talked for an hour.

Time to raise a toast tonight to the 'founder of the feast' so to speak. Fond memories, and appreciation for the tools and education still bringing pleasure and profits to many folks.

Best wishes to your family.

yours,

Ted

I've been listening to Las Vegas 1993 for the past week, so Doc and Jim are still alive and energetic to me. I did get to meet both in the early 90's and was out to Beaumont a couple of times. Some fun banter between Howard, Jim, Brohamer, and Spencer Toner. I believe Doc had just turned 67 and was kidding around about winning a race by playing a blind 6-7 exacta box. Brohamer was just shaking his head about 20 years of teaching going down the drain! You could tell these guys really liked each other.

Vegas 1992 will be next on the "listen while commuting" agenda. I can guarantee that I'm probably the only guy walking around midtown Manhattan with Doc and friends playing on the headphones!

A Happy Birthday to him Marianna. I raise my glass to him and to you and to your whole family. I wish I could have met him personally, but feel I know him through you, Ted and Bill and through listening to and reading all of his material and stories told by those of you who have.

All the best you

Barb

Some of my best times have been at the seminars that Doc Sartin hosted. He gave me hope and inspiration in handicapping and life also. Not only did he offer unique programs for Pace Analysis but also he stressed the Psychological aspects which he knew was just as important as the numbers.

Happy Birthday Doc and thanks for all you have given us.

Hi Barb.
School is going great, but its hard and time consuming. I forgot about all that, because it had been so long... LOL! I know it will be worth it in the end. So I'm exited.

I am exited that it is cooling down here in Southern California. I do much better in cooler weather. I can concentrate much better. ;)

Thank you all again for the Birthday Wishes for my grandfather.

Belated birthday wishes to "DOC".. my thoughts are always of him when I work races,
through RDSS....but believe it or not I still have an ancient computer 1998 with a
Synthesis program on it that still gets used occasionally...Doc gave me this program in
return for all the KY DERBY winning posters that I send him every year from Churchhill.
Best of luck to all during this years Breeders Cup..........Randy from Evansville IN

Sure do miss you, Doc. I didn't learn about the Sartin Methodology until after PIRCO closed up shop. Thanks to all back issues of the Follow Up I was able to acquire from a former PIRCO client (less the first ten which thanks to the P & C library I was able to download and print out) plus all the other manuals and audio tapes archived there, I did get a chance in fact to meet this great man and "creative genius" via this material.

With today's 'great' economy, it is time more than ever to "let's get serious."
