[Flagdu] Question

[Toni King]

Hello,
Marion is correct, John was laid off.
John does not hold any hard feelings toward Fidelco and feels other 
doors have opened up for him.
I am not as open and forgiving as John, I still love my Fidelco guide 
and feel she is one of the best of the best., but I can tell you firing 
John B. was the stupidest move anyone could have ever done.
This man had been doing dog guide training for well over 50 years when 
he trained me and mine. He can walk circles around the young folks and 
has a live time of knowledge.
Best Wishes,
Toni
