> Dear Marion,
>
> I'm so thrilled that NAGDU is giving a seminar on air travel, TSA security 
> procedures,  and in-flight emergencies.
>
> that talk might very well save the life of a guide dog team.
>
> It could certainly make people feel more comfortable and confident in 
> getting on that plane with their new guide dog.  And people using their 
> canes instead of dogs should go, too.  What a great chance to talk with 
> that TSA disability policy rep!
>
> Wish I could be there.  I hope you'll write up a summary after convention.
>
> The idea of the seminar makes me think of other challenging activities we 
> take on with our guide dogs every day that aren't taught in guide dog 
> school.
>
> What about navigating with infants and small children?
>
> What about emergency preparedness from blizzards to terrorist attacks, or 
> just seeing our guide dogs through those awful thunder storms?
>
> Or house-hunting in a new city (do you take Juneau along when you're 
> looking over a home to buy)?
>
> Or how about choosing clothing, upholstery fabrics, and flooring materials 
> that repel dog hair?
>
> Or how about dating with guide dogs, deciding whether your guide dog needs 
> a canine playmate, taking your guide dog to the gym, or fending off 
> aggressive petters?
>
> These would make great topics for articles on the NAGDU web page, or for a 
> talk-show podcast or Webinar.
>
> Anyway, way to go, Marion.  I love NAGDU.
