Dear Members of the show list, Please be sure to carefully read Helen's email below. The Centennial Committee continues with efforts to bring everyone an outstanding history of our club and breed. Our Centennial Historian, Tom Brown, (with assistance from Vivian) is steadily gathering historical documents. One example is his successful contacting of relatives of the first Secretary of the Club Ann Tracy. Tom has acquired handwritten letters from some of the founders & also I believe Marie Leary. Tom and Vivian where at the former estate of Geraldine Dodge where they spent time scanning important documents. Many thanks to Tom and Vivian for all of their work. There will be a historic physical display at Dream Park, site of the 2013 Centennial National Specialty. Today Kay forwarded the address and contact number of Helen Hess, who with husband Art, founded the Hessian line of GSD's Thank you Kay!!!! If you know or have items relative to this effort please contact Tom Brown or Nancy Harper. We are fortunate to have received the taped interview of Ernie Loeb as well as other long time and influential GS breeders. You will be able to view these tapes at the Centennial National. The Friday ceremony honoring active duty MWD, SAR, Assistance & K-9's & the DVD of these dogs in action will be very special - you will not want to miss this occasion. Following the Jan Board Meeting detailed information about the 2013 Events will be posted on the Centennial web site. The 2013 National, Centennial Celebration, and World Trials is a once in a life time opportunity - plan to be there!!!! Happy, safe and healthy New Year to everyone.

Remember Gail Sprock edited a magazine called the "Best OF" while she was doing the Review,and had them for sale at the National in Philadelphia when I did Intersex. At the back of each months magazine ,she had a multi-page with photos Interview, on about 12=13 people .like Jimmy Moses,Fred Migliori, Joan Ford ,Ernie Loeb etc. She flew up to Minn to handle a dog at our club's Specialty,so used that to get one on me . She inspected my kennel,,checked all the dogs --then we sat at my dining room table and she hammered me with question's for 2 hrs. I had suggest to Tish and the new Board that ,whenever the GSDCA has some extra money to put together a Gail Sprock Memorial Book ,,with all the Interviews of all the people she had written,about,and put it up for sale for profit back to the club. Just to let you know ,These interviews are too much to be put in Review. Mine alone ,was 20 pages with 18 pictures. . I don't know how long Jimmy's or Fred's were,but should not be cut . . I gave Bill Burgraaff a copy of mine,and asked Jimmy and Fred to bring theirs to the entire Board ,s o these could be passed around to the new Board to see,and check the cost. I started to work on this,way back when Gail Hardcastle was President ,passed it onto Tish,and now This Board. I was hoping to get it completed for the 2013 show --to be sold as a Centennial item. But with cuts in the Budget, the Board will probably not be able to afford to do this until after 2013. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
