[nagdu] a quick question

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Mark,

Oh, good!  You're getting to know us.  /grin/  I've learned a lot about the
histories of people I've known on the list for years, and that's so cool!
As you may have noticed, getting a chance to give our opinions about
anything at all to do with guide dogs is like chocolate!  Just can't get
enough o' that good stuff.  Thanks for the adventure with your quick
question.

Tami Smith-Kinney

So much for the subject line. This was certainly not a quick question.
