I was glad free seating was available as I tend to move around a lot at a national. I'm not trying to single your posts out. I'm just generally tired of seeing so much complaining when the extra effort put forth by the GSDCA, the St. Louis club, and everyone involved, was so obvious. If every person there wanted to get better seating, therein lies the problem. There is never quite enough to accommodate. The breed seminar judges, especially those AB judges we encourage to learn more need to see these dogs at their best...they did pay for seats. It still comes down to this is the showcase of the breed, all should be able to see. I don't mind standing when I want to see more. I do wish every time someone has an opinion it is not made to be personal. Nanci and her team do an amazing job......I know how hard she works for months before a show, then at the show. And she still smiles. I am not going to name names, will miss someone and they will feel offended. I am sure the ST Louis club was overwrought with assisting. It is a big job. I appreciate every last one of them. I love the national....it is motivational for me for a good part of the year. This is not just complaining Sally, don't run away again. But we are all of opinion, and entitled to be so. I like to listen to all points of view myself...still make up my own mind how I will feel about something. And have done it nicely regardless. Hope to see everyone next year.
