Christine The ROM problem occurred after I dropped out. not the reason I dropped out- I could see no benefit in belonging to the club. My experience has been the actual PC is a group of select people specially chosen- and then there are the rest of us. Except for wanting the recognition of the ROM for my dogs I found out I could function quite well with out being a member. I still showed dogs, and I still finished my dogs. And I had less headaches then I do now LOL Unless there are good reasons for a person to join and remain a member the numbers will not go up sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
