Geeezz - Tell me again why you think you wouldn't be good for the board -
You love the breed and think of what is best for it
You are good with people who disagree
You are a great communicator
You don't need the prestige
You don't need the power
It is not about that anyway...
I am 'accidentally' emailing this to the list. You only have a week and a half
to get the petition with 25 names in<EG>.
Love you Dad.
