The Board accomplished exactly what the membership asked of them, and Hunte is not and will never be a member of the GSDCA. For this, the BOD should be applauded. While we may not agree with the manner in which the Hunte issue was resolved, the BOD shouldn't be judged too harshly given most of us were not privy to all the facts and circumstances which led up to the resolution. Yes, it is time to forget about the closed session, the terms and conditions, the "intense" Ms.Gutenburg, the apology, etc. After all, these things are history and there's not a darn thing anyone can do about it. While it is time to forget, it is NOT time to move on! The time to move on will come when our club's by-laws are changed to prevent something like the Hunte "fiasco" from ever occurring again. The worse thing that could happen to the GSDCA is for the Hunte issue, and the subsequent resolution, to set a precedence for other "undesirables" to follow in Hunte's footsteps. The time to move on will come after the language of the GSDCA by-laws are re-written to afford iron-clad protection for our right, as a private club, to refuse membership to *anyone* who applies. And to exercise said right *without* fear of litigation.
