That is the best question of all. I think it is often tied into the reason we show dogs. We enjoy it, we have fun, it makes us feel good to win, and it fills a need. I sit as a judge in superior court now and then, when I can. I do it because I feel an obligation to my profession to help out. I sat on the board for the same reason, I felt I owed it to the GSDCA who does so much for our breed. I think each person running has personal reasons to do so, but also no matter what their reasons are, they are willing to dedicate their time and efforts to our club and the members. For that we owe them a debt of gratitude, and win or lose, I thank them for offering to give so much of themselves. Evan L.
