Come One, Come All,

Please join Joseph Ruffalo, host of the ThruOurEyes Internet Radio Show, as he focuses on The Seeing Eye's 80th Anniversary. Joe will discuss the events which have been held so far and  celebrations yet to come. Joe will interview: Jim Kutsch, President and CEO; Rivi Israel, instructor; Roger Woodhour, volunteer puppy raiser; and Vincent Chaney, Seeing Eye Graduate. 
 
Joe and Jim will discuss The Seeing Eye's programs and will touch upon the history of the school and the mission it continues to fulfill today and into the future. 

Joe will then speak with Rivi Israel who is one of the instructors at The Seeing Eye. They will talk about Rivi's experiences training these special dogs and the instruction of the human partners once they have been matched with their dogs.
 
The conversation will then turn to Roger Woodhour and the role of puppy raisers. Some of the topics Joe and Roger will cover include the Puppy Development Program, early training of the pups, and exposure to the world that the dogs receive in preparation for their future as Seeing Eye dogs. 

Joe will also talk with Vincent Chaney who partners with Randolph, a Yellow Labrador, and review Vincent's 28 years of working with 3 Seeing Eye dogs. Their conversation will touch upon traveling into New York City to work, and their 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 to and in honor of their 80th anniversary.
