This was my letter to the board. It was written from the heart. Penny in NY ************************************* Dear Board Members of the GSDCA, I try to be positive whenever I can. But tomorrow is January 1st, 2006 and I have yet to receive my November 2005 Review. When I get it, I won't care if the issue is small. Traditionally (at least for the last 24 years, which is how long I've been a GSDCA member) November AND December Reviews have been small--I attribute that to the fall-off after our National. It is the timelessness that disturbs me. I feel that I have a right to comment on this because 1. I am a member in good standing in our club and 2. in 2005, I sent in a 3 page memorial ad for my friend Henry Dancosse, plus a 2 page remembrance for my own Ch. Landsend's Tetley Tea Kid. Those memorials were done BEAUTIFULLY, I might add. I don't know what the answer is--I would like to be part of the solution. I have offered (more than once) to write articles, news reports (from dog shows) and book reviews. (I am an English teacher and a good writer.) The offer still stands, although this obviously would not effect the timeliness of the Review. Thanks for listening.
