Her flight was canceled and now they plan to get her in late on Friday. What great fun the board members have being able to travel to all these great locations and have the joy of seeing new airports All the years that I served on the Board,including my 4 yr Presidency,as well as all the years of judging --it was certainly FUN to fly around and visit different areas& cities,but not anymore. I feel sorry for our present Board members. The travel is now a burden along with the amount of work they have to do . It is a 7day/24hr job between the Meetings. The airline situation continues to worsen also with the shipping of dogs. I can remember when Ann Mesdag would fly to the National ,using two planes to carry all her dog entries.with their handlers. I certainly hope all of our new Board arrived safely,without delays,for the first meeting of the year,and have a constructive Meeting,with lots of work getting finished.. Our thanks to all of you.
