[nagdu] We Have Returned from D.C.

[National Association of Guide Dog Users]

Jenine,
	It was great to see you last Thursday, as well! I will be getting in
touch with the folks in Texas next week to get the ball rolling on a Texas
Association of Guide Dog Users there! We have been trying to get it going
for some time; perhaps this is the incentive they need!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

Marion, 

So glad you both made it back safely. 

It was a pleasure talking with you and hanging out during the SARA Forum.
