I know I'm really not "worthy" of stepping in here since I'm just one of the little people -- but -- I do feel I must ask --- Since we are, I think, talking of our German Shepherd Dogs and the history of their breeders and so forth - (trainers, handlers, judges etc.) -- Tell me why AKC would need to even be informed of this?? I feel the "gathering" of all that we need can and should be done by "us" and with enough folks already getting excited about this project, I, for one, will do a bunch of stuff, if a volunteer is needed for #1 Digging in to history (I love history) #2 The awesome "job" of interviews and that sort of thingy #3 Getting pics etc. would be difficult for me tho #4 TIME ---- oh yes, "Never A Dull One" -- title of my auto biography that I have nothing but that - the title - so far in writing!! #5 I feel the checking up and publishing of a continued type of informative, historical publication for all of us, especially Newbies to E N J O Y would be awesome!

Gail Sprock comes to mind to get her approval to include the interviews she had done in the past in the wonderful yearbooks she published. Ideas and input are welcome. ********************************************************* Hi Joan, This ties in with my thoughts on archiving materials which show our past history. I'm not sure AKC will take everything so if anybody has any ideas on where to "headquarter" things I would appreciate it. Many things have been lost already. This is a project we really need to do before it's too late as Joan says. Tish ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
