YeHa -- NOW we know why this gentleman is "paid" for his words as an atty. We also know why he's a splendid (recent birthday & fine Husband with a great w\Wife) and the best dogs on this ol' earth GSDs!! OK - the bit about it being what it IS -- an unusual but wonderful combination --- This CLUB --- a business with pleasure and I have dearly LOVED belonging to the GSDCA for all the almost 40 yrs. I've been a member. It's neat to be able to combine such. I'll never forget one of my sons telling me, as I had horses, dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, goats, cows, etc. etc. that really I should not invest in "something that eats"!! I honestly told him the truth that my having "critters" was not an investment but a "love"!! A pleasure that I'd been honored to have and now I tell you folks, I miss terribly. To have you folks each day so I can know there are so many people out there who LOVE our GSDs and can and will care for them is what keeps me going each day.

This has been and continues to be a good exchange of ideas. Some will always want the GSDCA to be more of a social organization and some will want it to be more of a business. The combination is what makes the club strong, enjoyable, and successfull. The ability of all of us to express our opinions, is what makes life interesting. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Evan L.
