Lee I haven't been on the board too long but in those years I know Ken Downing has been very very active in the WDA as well as going to the WUSV and other events abroad. David Landau of course needs no words from me on his very active roll. Many times when I stay late at GSDCA meetings and fly out late in the day I attend the WDA board meetings and most all these people are there in a very active roll including Tish Walker until very recently. No one anywhere who doesn't attend has any idea at all how hard they all work. Also if you attend the GSDCA meeting you will hear Ken Downing and David Landau and others speak on WDA issues with the greatest of knowledge. Sharon Allbright. Also I found Wayne Davis a super nice man with great manners and presidential skills at the WDA meetings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liane Fossland" <lfossland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <sally@xxxxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 2:53 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: not surprised > Sally, and all, > What surprises me is that those who do not actively participate in the WDA > with their dogs would like to take a leading role in this club. > What surprises me even more is that the WDA members elect those under > these > circumstances, not to mention the knowledge one should have acquired to > run > a club such as this.
