I miss those posts of key happenings, who was there, what was going on. I remember even longer when I went to the board meeting with a laptop and was told I could not type on it during the meeting. I laughed and typed and sent out notes from the hearing room. Dania and The One and Only used to send us news, but when put on the board, Dania might have felt it was a conflict. Many times some have felt it was better if the membership did not know what was going on. I never did understand that, as it is our club and nothing is harmed by letting everyone know what is going on, if you are not ashamed of what you are doing. I am surprised they are keeping the Margy thing secret, but I also don't care. I have lost a great deal of interest in the events of the club. I just like to go to a dog show now and then. I am just glad our congress is done in open sessions. Not that it is more important than the GSDCA. But, it is our government. Evan L.
