Ileana, it is hard to believe anyone would even think such garbage, let alone put it in print to you or anyone. We ALL know you, and we ALL know the committed, dedicated, ethical, hardworking, wonderful person that you are. I am sickened. Syd In a message dated 1/13/2006 8:25:18 P.M.

This is just a taste of what I had to deal with this week. I do not know this person, and this person obviously doesn't know me. And definitely doesn't know the facts. I believe an apology is in order. The membership of the GSDC of Dallas voted to closed the club down. There is no misappropriation of funds, I heard today 10,000.00 are missing. What a joke, this club never had that kind of money. All money has been accounted for and audited yearly. All I can do is let it run, those who are ignorant's of the facts will keep acting as such. Thanks to Lew Bunch for taking the time to find out the truth. By laws required 2/3 of the membership to vote for dissolution, our membership voted to dissolved by 95%. I did not vote, as president. Votes and minutes are on my desk and at AKC. In any democratic system, this is a HUGE majority of the votes. Those same members voted to distribute club equipment and money. Money goes to local GSD rescue. Not a single member received any money from the club. Not a single member wanted to do the work, we couldn't even get them together for a final dinner. Those are the facts. But here is another one. I am prepared to present charges with the Ethic Committee against ANYONE who I can prove is trying to damage my reputation by repeating slanderous comments. Just try me. Ileana ****************************************************************************** ********* Ileana you are totally out of line. I guess your "glory" of being a judge now has totally clouded your love for the GSD. Shame on you. If only ONE person still wants to have a club for GSDs why are you trying SO hard to stop that from happening? Sounds like the Dallas Club was having BIG personality problems. Why are you buying into that??? I know that GSDs are not your only breed...but if you are the driving force to close a GSD club, I will make sure you will never judge any club I am affiliated with or any club that willl listen to what I say, and will certainly NOT show under you. This is just totally WRONG and you do NOT have the best interests of the breed at heart and you should NEVER be a GSD judge. Please tell me why I am totally wrong????? I thought you were one of the breeds advocates and now I am just totally disgusted.
