[nagdu] New to list

[Marion & Martin]

Ted,
    Welcome to the NAGDU list. I know you will find a great deal of 
information and support.
    Let me personally apologize for the NAGDU web site. We are revamping the 
whole thing and some of the links are not yet connected.That will be 
corrected soon!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
National Association of Guide Dog Users
National Federation of the Blind

> I've

> for several reasons:  They have a facility in Oregon, where I used to live
> and still have friends and family.  Also I once met one of their directors
