Hello,

I thought I should pass this message along to Seeing Eye grads out there in
case you're not on their email list.

Dear fellow graduates,

I'm writing to share some sad news. The Seeing Eye lost a legend this week.
Richard (Dick) Krokus, who joined The Seeing Eye in 1946 and worked here
until 1988, died in hospice at the age of 89.

In his job application to The Seeing Eye, dated September 7, 1942, Mr.
Krokus wrote: "I derive thorough enjoyment in working with dogs because of
my innate love of them... I will accept the minimum salary you offer for the
chance to prove my sincerity."

Mr. Krokus would then serve in the U.S. Army in World War II, returning
after the war to join The Seeing Eye on December 2, 1946. He was an
instructor until 1960, then a supervisor of instruction until 1975, and
finally director of instruction until his retirement in 1988. After
retirement he stayed in touch with The Seeing Eye, sharing his knowledge and
amazing stories with a new generation of instructors.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dick while training with each of my first
three Seeing Eye dogs. David Johnson, Director of Instruction & Training,
told me that Dick not only hired him, but many of the senior members of the
Training Division. Dave said, "We all are going to miss his wonderful
stories about the dogs and the people that he loved so much."

Friends may visit at the Davis & Hepplewhite Funeral Home, 96 Main Street,
Succasunna, 973-584-7264 (http://www.davishepplewhitefh.com) tonight
(February 14) from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Funeral Liturgy will be held
tomorrow (February 15) at 10 a.m. at St. Therese Roman Catholic Church, in
Succasunna.

Sincerely,
Jim Kutsch
