[nagdu] question

[Allison Nastoff]

I didn't know this happened to Morris Frank! Luckily, people tell 
me that I am a friendly easygoing person.  The few times I have 
made people mad, they have never gone as far as leaving me 
stranded.  But you are right.  If it happened to the founder of 
Seeing Eye, I guess it could happen to me, so I should always 
have a cane or dog.  But what did Morris Frank do to make his 
guide that mad?
