What's interesting (fascinating?) about this,is that Dee and I named many of the same people. I added Susan Casey...talk about a grand lady! Took this whimpy lady under her wing at some very strange circumstances. John DeHope...After he gave Pep-pep, Mex, GVx, he and I exchanged many emails about what goals should be in raising dogs. Yes, shepherds, but Dogs. So many more Peggy M...feisty, outspoken, (nope, didn't give my dog a point LOL), but have I learned a lot! Liz Leschorne, who not only was always there with a smile, but pulled me out of a bad situation with my website and continues to help. The whole RMGSDC and also the PPGSDC, even if Susan WOULDN't let me join as an associate! And on and on and on....
