WIEAND, Judge
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. I would affirm the award of custody for the reasons set forth in the excellent and persuasive opinion of the trial judge. He had the opportunity to hear and see the witnesses and has prepared a careful and extensive analysis of the evidence presented. He concluded from the facts proved that the best interests of Paul Jordan would be served by placing him in the custody of his father. My independent review of the record discloses no good reason for interfering with that determination. I would not reverse the trial court’s order and require reconsideration merely because its opinion did not contain an express reference to and detailed discussion of the fact that the mother had had custody of the boy prior to the hearing.
