[nagdu] Inquiry From New List Member

[Ed Meskys]

Cindy Ray gave good advice. When training with a new dog be sure to ask for 
a "low energy" dog who will patiently lie under your desk as you teach. I am 
now fully retired, at age 75, but I taught physics and astronomy at a small 
liberal arts college when I first lost my sight at the age of 35. After 15 
weeks of rehab at the Carroll Center, long before there were NFB centers, I 
went to Seeing Eye and resumed teaching in September. They knew what my job 
was, and all of my dogs have been low energy. I did always put his leash 
around a desk leg just to be sure he wouldn't be tempted towander, but in 
general he was very satisfied to be under my desk. Ed Meskys
