I would just like to take this time to say a few words about my friend Patty Korsch. I would hope that the people on this list would evaluate the candidates according to their merits and not on the recommendation of a person whose motives they may question . Patty, like Laurie Pruett does not know Mr Davis personally, and was quite surprised that he was recommending her by his e-mail. Does that mean that you automatically discount the people on his list? I would certainly hope not! I would hope you would make an educated decision based on the bios and personal experience you may have had with that candidate. As a friend of Patty, I know first hand of her dedication to this club and the german shepherd dog. She has been an officer of the Rocky Mountain club since I joined (17 years ago). She has been show chairman for many years, always the show chairman for the futurities that our club has hosted. I don't have an accurate record of her accomplishments, what I can tell you is she is the backbone of the Rocky Mountain club, she has spent countless hours working to get the National show in Colorado and is now working hard to make sure the show will be a memorable one for all of you who plan to attend. She is not one to "toot her own horn". Instead, she quietly and behind the scenes is the one who gets things done, who promotes the club and the german shepherd dog. I am just a no-name in this big dog club, yet I am everyone in this club. We are the people that dedicate ourselves to this breed, are putting on the shows and obedience/rally trials, and just love our dogs. While Patty has had success in showing her dogs, she is a small kennel and the work she does for the club really overshadows the amount of time she spends showing her dogs. To me, this is the kind of person we need on our board, no hidden agenda, just a hard working individual dedicated to the breed. Hope to see you all in Colorado!
