[nagdu] I'm on my way soon

[Linda Gwizdak]

Hey, Ted,
You'll do fine with the new dog. Don't forget, any concerns you have, let 
them know while you are at school - that's what they're there for.  Also, 
talk to us on the list - we're here to help!

I was born and raised in Norwalk, CT - where in CT are you? I was in 
Hartford last in 1998 visiting friends there.

Linda and Landon
