[nagdu] Explaining to parents that guide dogs are useful

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Marion,
I know that this is extremely off topic for this list, but for my eagle 
project I am making care packages for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Question for everyone:
This one is on topic. Is there any way that you can choose what class you 
get when you are accepted to a guide dog program? I meen can I get my 
training in the summer to avoid having to miss school, either high school or 
college?
