I suspect the GSDCA would welcome good and knowledgeable folks no matter where they come from. I am sorry to see this happen, split with the WDA, but for years I have seen it as a one way street. I was a board member when we formed the WDA, and I was the person who kept saying not to inter-link the boards, to protect the GSDCA. I think it is necessary now for the WDA to go it on their own, and I wish the WDA well, but no longer should the GSDCA support them. Evan In a message dated 5/1/2014 2:06:54 P.M.
