[nagdu] discussion concerning my letter to the board of directors of Guide Dogs for the Blind

[Buddy Brannan]

Hi,

But the staff layoffs aren't what the letter was more generally addressing. In the case of GDB, the staff layoffs were, it sounds like, just a byproduct of a much bigger problem.

Seeing Eye has no such pattern, and its reasons for the staff cuts are pretty clear, where GDB's are not at all clear. Nor are they seeming to make any effort towards remedying this. Inthis economic client, I don't think anyone would fault staff cuts if they're needed, as rotten for some people as they may be. Again, I think there's a bigger issue at play with GDB.
