I hope everyone who reads this list appreciates the presence of Tom Brown on it. He doesn't speak often, but when he does, he never fails to impart something we all need to know. Tom is the Delegate to the AKC for his all-breed club, not for the GSDCA, yet he doesn't hesitate to share with us information he has that most of us don't know and are either too lazy or unable to look up for ourselves. I just hope everyone recognizes how lucky we are to have Tom Brown with us, in the breed and on the list.
