[nagdu] NAGDU website not working ?

[Robert Hooper]

Also, the original poster may want to refer this sighted individual to a few of the school websites. From what I have noticed, they are rife with images of dog teams, puppies, dogs in training, etc. This could be a solution while the NAGDU site is dysfunctional. Just a few thoughts.
Sincerely,

Mardi,
    Tami Kinney is our webmaster and is on this list. She will likely address these concerns, as well. As for pictures, we are working to load more pics on the site. We made a call on this list for pics and my understanding is we received very few. I have sent Tami a few, but I want to have more than just photos of Sarge & me! I think our homepage has a picture of my wife, accompanied by her guide dog, as she is hooded during her master's convocation.
    As for the broken links, Tami will need to address that issue. Please feel free to offer us any constructive criticism on anything to do with NAGDU. We can only move forward if we move together!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
