The position of Corresponding Secretary is a fun job but has many challenges. Thought I would share with everyone today. One is receiving a call from a person so very anxious to buy a GSD puppy and needs referrals. The time is 5:45AM Sunday morning. But that's ok the caller is from PA. The next call is from a man in NV also anxious for a referral. The time now is 12:15 AM Monday morning. I did caution him to please not call the referral numbers until much later in the day which he promised to do. Not real sure if he listened so if anyone out there received a call I am sorry. The last I'll share is a letter in today's mail. From a boy saying he is 14 and so in love with the GSD. He states, " I think a GSD will fit me just fine."Would I please tell him all about them? Tell him what he will have to do to keep them happy. Would I please take pictures of them and send them to him. He ends his letter with one sentence. 'I would like it if you can send me a book on every single dog there is in the world. Thank you. I am assuming he means every single GSD. Well this boy named Cody is from Texas and as soon as and if I can figure out his return address I will send him a list of breeders so everyone in Texas do get prepared. Also of note, this boy sent his letter to Blanche Beisswenger in NJ and the letter was forwarded on to me from Blanche's sister Doris.
