[nagdu] labradoodles and schools that use them?

Wed Aug 5 01:32:34 UTC 2009

Hello angie:

Thank you for this clarification. 

Does anyone on the list have a copy of the particular issue of the braille monitor (or know what issue it was in so I could google it) so I could take a read for myself?

Thanks
Gary
