I don't know Mr. Osburn. However I do know he was not a member of the GSDCA in the printed list I have from 2004. I googled him, and it appears that he favors the German dogs and bloodlines. For myself, I like a Board member to have some longevity in the club, no matter what style of dog he favors. I think there are several people who have more familiarity with the GSDCA than he does that are candidates for the BOD. My opinion....
