Evidently it is possible. I know for a fact that Linda Wheeler applied for membership in the GSDCA. When her name was published, one letter was sent to the board, and without notice to her, or giving her a chance to respond, she was denied membership. I am not taking a position on that situation, as Linda asked that I not do so, but I point that out to show that evidently this board does have the ability to deny membership. Also, I know the facts on both sides of Linda's situation and it involves good people and good friends, so I did not want to get into it. Lamar called me to ask what the board should do or what Linda planned, and I declined to advise him. I admire Linda for not forcing the issue.
