[nagdu] Introduction

[Julie J]

Alan,

Welcome!
I did a test walk with that same dog at the 2008 convention.

We've met before at the employment workshop in August of 2008.  And I think 
we were both on the bus to the 2008 convention, except I totally missed you 
then! *smile*

I'm planning on being at convention again this summer and I'm seriously 
thinking of bringing my current guide, Monty.  Hope to see you there.

Again welcome!
Julie
