I never knew of the threats until I read them the other day. No one threatened me when I ran, but I did get some criticism for supporting Lew. I am pleased I did so, and the only reason I did continue to run as people felt they wanted me to. I know this has been a rough year for everyone. There were mistakes made, but they were done in an honest manner by people dedicated to our breed, who felt they were doing the right thing, and some still feel that way. We can disagree, and we must when we feel it is needed. But this must not become personal, and we should always remember the efforts put forth on our behalf. There has been a great deal of pain and hostility lately, but it is due to the passion these people feel for this breed. We must not forget that, and always respect the rights of everyone to speak out and to act as they feel best. That is the basis of freedom. I can honestly say there is no one that I am not looking forward to seeing at the national, and sharing another joke with. There is no one on this board that I do not respect and admire, and thank for their work. There is no one that I doubt for one minute the hard work and dedication they gave us last year. And, there is no one who has posted to this List that I do not respect and thank for that opinion.
