[Blind-rollers] sighted guide?

[Marty James]

I am in the process of attaining a guide dog but while I am waiting my wife 
is my sighted guide while I am in my power chair. She just walks by my side 
and I hold her hand and off we go. I pace my speed and direction off the 
feel of her hand, kind of like a harness for the dog.
