[nagdu] Third party reporting by other guide dog users

[Lyn Gwizdak]

That other school probably just wanted to hear both sides of the story, 
that's all.  Did you get a home visit from the school you chose?  When the 
selection committee goes over all information on applicants, they use all 
info but would never base their decision just on what another school said 
about you.  They've done this enough to be able to make good charactor 
judgements about an applicant and take it from there.
