[nagdu] Man and dog fell onto tracks

[Darla Rogers]

Dear Tracy,

	Seeing Eye made that decision; personally I was very disappointed,
as I wanted to see how my girl would deal with the best New York has to
offer; very odd.  Maybe each class supervisor gets to choose?
	I haven't been on too many platforms but with all the people and
junk, I can certainly see even more clearly how anyone might slip off the
platform, though in Mr. Williams' case, it seems to have been something
medical.
Darla & Huck Who are thinking a 10th-anniversary to the Big Apple mi8ght
just be the thing to do

Darla, a lot of platforms have the bumps, but I don't think they all do.
Not only are platforms crowded, but many also have pillars, newsstands,
benches, stairwells and assorted junkin the middle so that one has to walk
near the edge. I hate walking very far on the platform, but often it has to
be done.

You went to a quieter part of The City, just because the president was in
town?  Ben and my first trip to the City, Bush was in town, right where we
wanted to go. There were massive crowds on the street, with the Secret
Service disrupting everything.  Ben put his tail up and showed me his Seeing
Eye superpowers, and I knew he was the right dog for me!  Good boy!
Tracy
