I have to agree with that, and there is no chance you will ever be asked to vote for me for the board. If nominated I will not run, and if elected, I will not serve. The board works hard, every single member, for the best interest of the club and the breed. They might make a mistake, or not agree with us, but they work like hell for what they feel can benefit our future. They do so with little support, and no appreciation, but for now and then. I remember asking Joan Fox is being on the board helped you to win under other board members. As she told me, and as I learned, being on the board, if anything, alienates you from the other members. A good judge will ignore that, but a board member must assert him or herself at the meetings. We should appreciate all they do for us, and if we don't agree, understand that they do the best they can. And, I remain in amazement of anyone who would run again, after serving on our board. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Evan L.
