  The 1998 winner of the IAMS Eukanuba Award was Tequila's Joker, an 8 year old orange and white male owned by Ed Tillson and handled by Jim John. TJ is the product of Ed's field trial/hunting dog, Beaugarde's Golden Tequila and Wade Worrell's bitch WWW Ban Dandee. TJ has been a steady performer throughout his career with multiple big wins. He was the 1997 runner-up in the IAMS Award and came through on top this year. TJ's biggest victories this year included the National Open Championship, the Nebraska and Mo-Valley Open Limited All-Age and a placement in the Pheasant Classic.
  The IAMS Eukanuba Award was again presented by Roy Pelton at the Blue Mountain Field Trial Grounds Clubhouse. Wade Worrell made the trip just to share the night with Ed and old friends. It was good to see him again.
