The way I remember it, and I may be remembering it wrong....but the problems did not start as a result of the vote on THAT applying member....the problems started after the vote was taken and what happened as a result!...as for saying some one was wrong or right to vote how they voted is a pretty self serving statement, just like right now board members are voting not to settle!...not saying they are wrong, I'm saying I disagree with them.... not sure how I would have voted on the Hunt situation, but I'm sure I'd have listened to both sides...I tend to believe I too may have voted in favor of Mr. H.......I do know this...there are folks in the club right now that I wouldn't turn my back on...... Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: BAERENTATZE312@xxxxxxx To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 29, 2010 6:58:15 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Settlement.....the problem?

Unless we ALL decide to get along for the benefit of our breed and drop the egos, etc. our club is doomed. No one will win.
