Other possibility, list of questions, and interview the "expert" group for the Review. Or 1 or 2 questions and ask the top 20 in the breed to answer the questions. How about a list questionaire? All the listers name their top 20 (or so) more influential GSD people, take the list and use the ones with the most "votes" Pat Evans ELG440@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 11/2/07 8:39:10 A.M.

A number of years ago, I suggested that I was going to video tape some of the leaders of this breed. I wanted to talk to Bob Penny, Joan and Fran Ford, The Rinkes, Gloria and Cappy, Ernie Loeb and a couple of others. When word got out that I wanted to do this, and was starting it, someone who worked in video asked if he could help, and he went to the board for approval, and I think even some funds. I then was given a list of who he wanted to interview, and I only knew one of the ten people he thought were the leaders of our breed. None of my suggestions were included. He then decided to take over the project, and I realized it would not work with a committee, so I dropped it. He never went forward as far as I know, and we know who we have now lost. Someone needs to do this, but it should be an effort of one. As soon as you get a committee, there is seems to be no agreement of who should be included. I now have lost my enthusiasm for the project, but maybe someone else will take it over. A camera is cheap, and the only cost would be a meal for those you interview, and maybe the expense of travel. Little enough expense to save these memories.
