[nagdu] A Dog Guide Christmas Poem

[Albert J Rizzi]

 Oh my dear heart. Thank you for coming forth.  I understand your position
on the training facilities, and use the term foundation loosely. I got my
guide from gdf.  I know there are 9 different programs being operated out
there and will do my best to inform others about them as we build our link.
I really enjoyed your piece and wwith your permission shall post it with
pride and humor as we attempt to dispel and change such perceptions. Nice to
have made your virtual acquaintance. Peace.

Hello Albert, 

First off, I'll admit to being the author of that Christmas poem. It was
written in 1999 as part of a yearly tradition I had on another guide dog
list. I'd write a holiday poem each year. I have to say that after 2001 I
got way too busy, and creatively numb from grad school, to continue this,
but it amazes me these things are still floating around. <grin> 

I did want to correct one small thing in your message stating that you wish
to list all of the "guide dog foundations" out there. Technically, there are
only 2 guide dog schools, or training providers, the proper name, who use
the term "Foundation" as part of their officially recognized names. Guide
Dog Foundation, GDF, in Smithtown, NY,  and Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation,
(the German Shepherd school) in Connecticut. I'm sure both schools would
appreciate being listed on your site, just wanted to make sure you got the
appropriate titles.
