Ask anyone who knows me. > Rita, that's a kind offer, but I'm going to use it to make another point -- how would we know it is you? (Apologies to Rita, since I know this is probably going to spark a few smart-aleck comments from a few of the list jesters.) Seriously, I'm going to try to go to the Nationals for a couple days (since it's only 1.5h north of my house); there are lots of non-conformation GSD lovers along the Front Range, so maybe there will be lots of us turning out. Is the Welcome Wagon committee going to encourage newcomers and old-timers to wear nametags, maybe, so that meetings won't just be between the usual suspects? Cheers, Leslie -- Leslie M.
