[nagdu] presentation about blindness

[Jennifer L Finley]

Mark when do you have to give the presentation?  Maby you can show them how 
you use both the cane and the dog.  I use to talk to a pree school class, 
and I got all kinds of questions.  I had a lot of people ask me if I could 
drive.  I showed them how I use my cane, and they wanted to try it.
