Thanks you for posting this, Fred. I have been doing some "googling" on nominees and see that Bill is quite involved in another breed, too. And isn't he quite involved in WDA? Those would be worthy of mention, too. I didn't see many GSD show entries, but maybe I was looking in the wrong places. Perhaps you can help me out in that. We do need these qualified people running for Directorship.
