YeeHa! I know Administration isn't really thrilled about "redundant" cheers etc., but I think this one is in NEED of another looksee. Sorry, I guess I'd better just lurk for a change.

Please listen to this "Noble Breed" committed judge and lady. Regards Bill P PS - One who has been there and it stinks In a message dated 6/29/2009 12:04:00 P.M.

I am sleep deprived. and my feet are sore from dancing in high heels, but it was WORTH IT!!!. I am saddened to come home and find, yet again, a major conflict among our members. My message to all of all of you is simple and to the point. Through the honor of being elected to serve all of you, The Members of the GSDC of America, I have come to know many dedicated and very fine people who have served with me. The West Coast folks; Carolyn Martello, Dalene McIntire, David Fritche, Nadine Grady, Tom Mesdag, are all outstanding people who have the welfare of our breed next to their hearts. While Kathleen served she worked VERY hard. Those I knew before such as Dania Karloff, Tish Walker, Bart Bartley, Helen Gleason, Gail, Carmen, Lanalee and God Rest her Soul Laurie, are all hard workers who care deeply, all the Board Members included, AND I must mention Paul Root, who made a mistake in judgment, and then ACCEPTED the consequences like the man he is. I am taking a stand to defend my CURRENT and PAST fellow Directors who have dedicated & continue to dedicate countless hours in the service of this Club. Spending out of pocket money to travel, hours in airports, long hours in meetings trying their damnedest to make headway for our Breed. I find it a very difficult pill to swallow to read that members of this organization could actually believe that the ENTIRE BOARD, ALL OF THEM, would with malice and forethought, set about deliberately to attack or bring down another Board Member. Why would they do that? Please point out to me what personal gains any Board Member has garnered. It is far from easy to take a stand on difficult issues KNOWING there will be a backlash. Your Board has exhibited courage only to be criticized, I hope my a small majority. I hope everyone will have more confidence in their Directors by knowing that AKC New York conducted a second investigation AFTER a letter from them contained errors. A conflict of interest was upheld BECAUSE the "business agreement" between handler and judge took place BEFORE judging of the Futurity, this is not up to question, the paper trail is quite clear. Sincere suggestions and advise were given which MIGHT have resulted in a reduction of the suspension time as the circumstances were somewhat different from another Futurity which resulted in penalties. This offer to help and the advise were rejected. Don't misunderstand, in both Futurities, AKC declared a "conflict of interest" occurred. . It is my sincere hope that the membership understands and realizes exactly what Gail has stated previously. We will NOT be able to find qualified members who are long time members, with knowledge, integrity, and background willing to serve, unless we seek correct answers BEFORE jumping to conclusions & begin to accuse Board Members of attacking and having personal vendettas. There remain some who for whatever reason(s) from the past continue to "stir the pot". Members think for yourselves, call a Board Member ASK before you believe WHAT YOU READ. Best to all of you, we will have a wonderful National in Ohio.
