Lee Laymon was unable to attend this year's National Meeting and Awards Banquet, so he was awarded the 2008/2009 Sportsman of the Year Award at the Handlers dinner during the 2010 National Open Championship. He is at many of the trials throughout the country always lending a helping hand when needed. He never looks for any attention or even a thank you, but if he is at trial he is always looking for a way to lend a helping hand. Thank you Lee from all of us.
