Just some History again. The WDA was originally a liaison type of Committee of the GSDCA . They ,like any other committee,reported to our Board. We were all on the same team,when I served as President of the GSDCA. Their Board met the same weekend the GSDCA Board met. and attended our Board meetings and our Board attended their meetings. When Carmen became President of the GSDCA,he chose to make them a separate entity from the Parent club,and Bill Collins was their President ,and registered the formation in Denver as a separate club.. I've been a member of the WDA,since they first formed as a committee and Fred Lanting was their President. Remember- SchUSA was trying to replace us at the world union(WUSV) as the Parent Club in America for the German Shepherd dog. Do to the work of Julius and Anne Due, the GSDCA was the FIRST foreign club to be admitted to the WUSV.And I fully support sending the WDA team to Europe to represent the GSDCA . The connection goes back many years . Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
