10 Letter to the KBTCCF - The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest. -Author Unknown Lately our group has been beset with hurt feelings, misunderstandings and dissention - to the point that people thinking of joining the Club don't, and some already in the Club are thinking of dropping out. At meetings, some hang back and don't participate, some escalate discussions into arguments and some chose not to attend at all. s and Facebook comments have been posted with little thought as to how they may be interpreted by some. I think it's time for us to remember the purpose behind the Club - promoting the KERRY BLUE TERRIER! None of the drama of the last couple of years is working towards that goal. We're all different, with different outlooks and experiences, but we came together because of our love for our Kerries. The encouragement and congratulations I received when I finished my JoZee's championship (both times!) proved to me that we have a great group of people who are all dedicated to the breed and it's welfare. I do believe the saying at the top of the page - it's hard to apologize, forgive and forget but I think we are a group of people totally capable of all three. And if you can't do the first two, then just do the third. For my part, if I've offended anyone (and I know I have), it was not intentional; I can't think of anything anyone's done that I need to forgive; and I've forgotten all except that this Club is comprised of a group of the bravest, strongest and happiest people I know. So let's get together and celebrate our wonderful breed! Conni
