Thank You Christine. The 'YES' voters, that feared legalities, could have abstained from casting a vote. NOTICE, it's being kept a SECRET. NONE will come forth and explain WHY? All 9 that voted YES feared legalities ONLY?? I CAN'T BUY IT. Erika Buckley & the Tamarin GSDs In a message dated 2/5/07 7:28:48 P.M.

Words like" I was impressed by the presentation.." he isn't a broker..just a middle man.." He never breeds..he loves dogs..by golly he has even shown dogs before his GSD.he offered his semi for rescue..what a nice guy. I realize we cannot legislate peoples thoughts or opinions..nor would I want to..however even if we change the by-laws..we cannot change the mind set of a few on the Board who are privately singing this man's praises and doing so quite passionately. I truly believe..that some Board members felt personally offended by Hunte's line of work, but felt they were protecting the GSDCA from litigation..do keep in mind however 2 attorneys did vote No to Hunte's membership..I also think some BOD's may have grossly underestimated the fallout. HOWEVER,,I also think there are some on the Board that voted Yes..who are really impressed with Hunte and his presentation.those are the Board members that need to be ferreted out..and exposed. and let the membership decide if they are worthy of ever serving the GSDCA again.
