[Blindtlk] The Seeing Eye 80th Anniversary on ThruOurEyes Internet Radio

[Marion & Martin]

I have been asked to circulate the following message!


Come One, Come All,

Please join Joseph Ruffalo, host of the ThruOurEyes Internet Radio Show as he covers The Seeing Eye's 80th Anniversary. Joe will discuss the events which had been held and  celebrations yet to come. Joe will interview: Jim Kutsch, President and CEO; Rivi Israel, instructor; Roger Woodhour, 4H; and Vincent Chaney, Seeing Eye Graduate. 
Joe and Jim will discuss the Seeing Eye and touch upon the history of the school and  the purpose which it fulfills today and into the future. 
Joe will then speak with Rivi Israel as one of the instructors at The Seeing Eye. They will talk on Rivi's experiences of training of the destined dog guide and the training of the human partner the dog will be planned to be matched with.
The conversation will then turn to Roger Woodhour and the 4H Program. The Puppy Development Program, training and experiences the dogs receive in preparation towards their Seeing Eye future will be some of the items Joe and Roger  cover. 
Joe will review with Vincent Chaney who partners with Randolph, a Yellow Labrador, and his 28 years of working with 3 Seeing Eye Dogs. Their conversation will touch upon traveling into New York City to work, trips around the country for pleasure, work and the NFB National Conventions.

We especially wish to thank The Seeing Eye for their acceptance and participation in the show dedicated and honoring their 80th anniversary.
