That being A.J. "Dutch" Branenburg has been returned to the board after a short absence. "Dutch" has served in this position in previous years and his return will be certain to bring new and constructive planning for the future of the Thoroughbred breeding and racing industry. Leaving the Board of Directors will be Mrs. Gwen Davis who has just fin ished a three year term. Gwen has served conscientiousley and always in the best interest of the members. She has served on several committees and has been one of the most dependable members of the Board of Directors. Her absence will be felt, however we are certain she will continue to serve the members of theO.T.B.A.
