It may have not been filed, but the language does not say, "this is a bluff to put pressure on, but we really do not mean it." The reaction to all this is not really in Joan's best interest. She has been a prominent part of the club for a life time, and this club seems so very important to her. I do not want her to have to suffer the isolation and rejection that Margy has. But that could very well be the end result. The previous board people now put her in the 'Margy category,' and the current board is mad as hell. Even if she wins at this point, she looses. I talked to her about this phenomena when she put this matter before the board last time, but she continues to need vindication and doesn't seem to understand that this was an AKC action, not heard by the GSDCA. She needs to be talking to them. I talked to Paul last weekend. He is hurt and bitter. He has not had a judging assignment since his futurity fiasco. While others, Karen specifically, are taking the blame for not counting the days correctly, he is getting the penalty, but taking it like a man. I suggested his name for our coming shows and several people went nuts. Most of the handlers will not show under him. So he exhibits and wins but he does not judge any longer. I just hate to see that all happen for Joan. She is too good of a judge and too nice of a person to get into that kind of rejection reaction. Anything I can do for her? I don't think she is ready for my advice right now, but this continues to polarize for her and she will ultimately loose more than anyone else. Any ideas?
