"T" & "J" – Islands in the Sun …

The site of the Fifth Series is located on the property of TJ and Debby Lindbloom. It is a beautiful place for this series, and it has an interesting history. When T J Lindbloom was younger and competitively pursuing success in retriever field trials, his father gave him a gift in the form of a pond. While building it, he created two islands – one in the shape of a "T" and the other in the shape of a "J." 

These islands are included in the artist’s sketch and remain; however current vegetation growth makes them harder to identify.

But it must have worked … because TJ went on to win a National title in 1979 with NFC-AFC McGuffy, owned by TJ and Debby Lindbloom, handled by TJ!
