I am committed to not campaigning, and I am not going to change that. On Thursday, when the final ballots are to be collected, I will address my thoughts on the future of the club. However, I did not miss-read the room. I knew going in there was a certain hostility based on passion and commitment from some of our members. They are people who feel a deep abiding desire to do the best they can for our breed, our club and the members. They are not evil, they do not desire to destroy our breed, but they feel strongly that the ideas they have formed are the only way to properly serve the GSDCA. I respect that. I do disagree, and do not accept the negative things said, and do not feel they were necessary. But, I have known those who said them, in the most part, for years. I respect these people and credit them for their zeal. I stopped today to look over the list of those running for our board. I see value in each person and know them all, (except for two) well enough to know they will work hard for us and do the very best they can. I also know, come next week we will be laughing together, and enjoying the greatest show on earth. I expect everyone to drop the anger, and enjoy the dogs. I know that is what will happen, and for that reason I am looking forward to the show, the parties, the people and the new memories I will form. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
