Subject: Re: history I, for one, would never be bored with that. I would LOVE to hear how things had been done in years past. As I learn more and more about the breed, history and purpose and developing my understanding of the breed standard, I am reaching further and further back to gain the basics.

She'd interview one person per year thoroughly. She visited me and my kennel. for an interview--- had pictures and interview on a great many people. Also the GSD Quarterly interviewed many of us and published those for years-- maybe those could be accessed by our present Review Editor,who worked with Gail and also lives in Colorado where the Quarterly is published Just an idea. I'm sure lot of those have passed on. But it's been my experience that today,people could care less how things were done. They have a whole new concept of what our GSDCA is or should be So what might interest you personally is boring to others.

My mentor Ellen told me so many stories of the past: how the futurities used to be, shows that UFO and Lanalee went to all OVER the country, interesting breeders--gosh, I miss her!
