I don't necessarily think of it as complaining from most Sally, but having an open discussion about the good & the bad, so that Gail and her team know what to look for or work on for future Nationals.? If we don't talk about it, then they don't know what worked and what didn't.? As I stated previously, Gail and her team did a great job with this National, especially considering the outside forces that worked against them.? If they can take the good that they did and remember what didn't work, then future sites will be even better.?

I prefer to think the PC and Beaumont club did a heck of a job pulling this National together under terrible conditions.--I hope that the money that we spent down there helped some of the residents a little after what they have been thru. I drove a long way by myself did not make near as much money as usual. But you know what I had a great time. I had dog people give me a hand loading and unloading all my things , offers to watch my booth while I took a break etc This was a great group that showed up and we had a great time.? ?
