You can say that again!! I got my 25-year pin 5 years ago; I was told a year ago that I would receive a 30-year certificate in January of 2007. Now my questions get ignored; apparently I will have to live another 20 years to get the 50 year recognition!! The GSDCA does like to make us jump through hoops sometimes!!
