[nagdu] contact with puppy raisers/walkers

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

    There's an element to this story not told in SE's literature. It's the 
fact that when this organization was created the blind weren't organized as 
we are today. There was no NAGDU or NFB to tell SE that a policy such as 
this is dead wrong! If they feel we're adults they can start treating us as 
such. It may have been the right thing to protect graduates from unwanted 
harassment by puppy raisers but it did and does much to harm the ability of 
the blind to develop the skills needed to manage affairs like this on their 
own. Had NAGDU and the organized blind b4een around in the 1920s this 
conversation might not be taking place today in the 21st Century.
