Thanks, Cathy. There are LOTS of people who do a marvelous job for the club and for the breed. In our angst, we can't forget those who DO work tirelessly for no other reason than to help. No self- glorification, no need to control, no ego building or busting., Just doing it. And I have no reason to know that the person who asked what a steppen was, wasn't REALLY curious, not knowing. We should slow down and think before we jump EITHER way, to attack or to defend. If there is going to be either, it should be with some checking of the circumstances... I think. And I could DEFIANTLY use more active people in legislation work, for sure! <VBG> Having a sense of humor during stressful periods keeps one sane. Stormy Hope www.carpoc.org UPDATED EVENTS/LINKS!
