At a national in the East, I can't even remember where, (I think it was New York), the electricians tried to pull that on the GSDCA. They threatened Leonard Steen and Dan Dwier. Now, Len was an old Union man, so he was a bit concerned, and Dan was an ex-police chief. They called me, (as the attorney) to meet with the electricians. I met with them, three very large men, who said they would shut down the show, unless we hired them to turn on the hair dryers. I listened to them, and then told them if they didn't get out, I was about to introduce them to some German shephers, up close and personal. They left and never came back. Len was horrified, and Dan asked to be walked to his car at the end of the show, as he was concerned about the "electricians". I laughed at the whole thing and told the "electricians" that if they didn't like what I was going to do, to sue me. I am still waiting.
