Thank you Tom and Vivian for your work on the Centennial, without your hard
work and dedication the display just would "NOT HAVE BEEN" period.
One thing we should keep in mind and that is the Centennial was a
celebration of the FOUNDING of the what was/is The German Shepherd Dog Club
of America.
The German Shepherd Dog Club of America was founded in 1913 - that is the
date we celebrated in 2013 - our founding. The initial Club was formed
during
The Westminster Kennel Club Show in New York in 1913. The founding meeting
was held at the Waldorf in NYC.
Thankfully we still have with an entire page of knowledgeable Shepherd
fanciers. I am still hopeful we will record their history and knowledge.
Perhaps someone in the East will check on the wonderful items Joe Bahari
had.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] National numbers
I have been questioned as to why I bring up this numbering situation now and
not before, as calling it the102nd show is merely a continuation of what has
labeled the shows for many a year.
I was not cognizant of the date of the first National until engaging in the
research for the Centennial historical exhibit that Vivian and I prepared
for the 2013 show and the historical booklet that got cancelled. We were
preoccupied with those tasks and did not notice the numbering on the premium
list and catalog.
As the 2014 National approached,Vivian and I were giving all our attention
to a health problem she had and were not paying that close attention to the
national.
So when the Review arrived this summer with the Advance Brochure in it and I
saw the error I sent the email to those concerned.
Apparently the numbering error has existed for years and this years Show
Chair should not be blamed for it. I have chaired some big all breed shows
(2900+ entries) and you start out building on the prior year's premium list
and catalog. She cannot be faulted for not knowing about the prior error.
Tom
