I also know several of the folks running for the board and I know who I will support. One I can never get a hold of and two that supported me when I first started showing. I am very sad that one of the current board chose not to run again. She is my mentor and her counsel will be missed. On the other hand one person running is a new mentor and I am happy that he chose to run for the board.

I know everyone running for the board, as well as the ones serving now. I do know the history of most and who I am going to vote for........Because I know most of the history of all of them. Unlike Evan. I do not see both sides. I have strong feelings in only one way, but like him, I do believe that our Board should be interested in the betterment of the GSD. I am sorry to see that two of the people I respect very much are not running again this year. I will be asking their council on who will replace them.....I ASK YOU TO DO THE SAME. BTW: I am very close to one of the officers of the club, but she never tells me what is going on. If I don't go to the meetings I know nothing. She is a bitch, and tells me all the time : She is show quality <G> Bob ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
