The King of the Woods

It has recently come to my attention that “The Friends of Dave Hughes for the Field Trial Hall of Fame” have used my name in an ad that appeared in the May third issue of the American Field.  The ad states, “Craig Doherty in a feature article called Hughes The King of the Woods.”  That was the title of an article that ran in the Winter 1999 issue of Field Trial Magazine as a sidebar to the main article on the Grand National Grouse Championship which had run in New Hampshire for the first time in November 1998.  Had my name not been used in this context to promote the Hughes campaign for the Field Trial Hall of Fame, I would have quietly stayed on the sidelines, but since it was I feel compelled to let everyone know that I do not endorse Dave Hughes for the Hall of Fame nor do I plan on voting for him.
