Thanks Lea, for an informative explanation. I don't believe the hotel that
we are staying would be deemed unacceptable and I am not certain if others
had reservations at any of these other hotels. Despite what some may
perceive, I am on a fact finding mission. I really don't care who spins the
best story, the truth is the truth. Bottom line is this is all ridiculous
and embarrassing for the GSDCA to look so incompetent. All this squabbling
is like a bunch of second graders running to the teacher to tattle and
everyone wants their story heard first so they can be 'right" Bottom line
is most have been wrong on many accounts. From the bungling of the Hunte
issue, now this, to he said she said about the minutes, to ignoring the
potential of a virtual magazine...for a lack of a better phrase it is what
we call in southern Indiana as a big "Cluster f---" If I didn't love the
breed so much I wouldn't even renew my damn dues. Christine
