bawker Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wonder if Jeff Fiedler will take over full time . . .how weird would that be for SCV/Cavalier showdowns in the future? Regardless, kudos to Mr. Pearson; some good years for the program, especially as the competitive barometer overall in DCI has increased.

Eddie Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Jeff Fiedler has been wanting to step down from the director's chair for a while for what I've read over the years when he was still with the Cavies. I don't really see him taking over, at least not permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganhill Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Jeff Pearson is a good guy, however, after this year's disappointing season, this comes as no surprise. As far as Jeff Fiedler taking over as director, I seriously doubt this will happen. In fact, I am quite confident it won't happen. No offense to Jeff Fiedler intended.

MAV Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was stunned looking at the message. This is truly sad. Jeff Pearson is an amazing man, with a multitude of talent wrapped in a humanitarian demeanor that is a rare find. Always approachable, always kind. It is great to hear that he will still be involved with the organization - and hopefully that means Kathy too. Whatever business, whatever field, they'll be lucky to have you. Best wishes to the entire family! Mav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
