Another consideration in how all of this is handled is the perception of new folks. Some of them already think that the "fix" is in. This situation must be handled by the AKC, or parent club,. I have confidence that all the facts will come out at that time. I adore Jerry, and he has handled for me in the past. I would use him again in a heartbeat. But we must handle this matter in an open manner and not make excuses. The facts will, hopefully, come out and a decision rendered. In the meantime, let us keep Paul in our prayers and let the facts speak for themselves.
