[nagdu] meating the puppy raisers

[Natalie]

Hi Lea, et al,
I was very fortunate to be able to meet both my puppyraisers during 
graduation from both my classes at GDA.  Liam's puppy raiser and I do keep 
in touch periodically, and she gave me his scrapbook and told me stories 
about him.  I was very pleased.  Before I switched to GDA, I went to GDB for 
my first dog, and we got to meet our puppy raisers during graduation as 
well.
Best,
Nat and Liam Joshua
