[nagdu] GDB Information was RE: Evaluation from Guiding Eyes

[Cindy Ray]

I don’t know if that constitutes that GDB is going down hill. I am under the impression that in the past year or so they’ve made some good strides. Brandon, I should think you could demand a copy of the report, or at least the common courtesy of an explanation as to why the school did not accept you.

The guy who interviewed me said he would recommend me for a guide dog, but then he allegedly gave a bad report. They were not at all up-front about what they wanted from me, and I was 99% sure I was getting in. It was nothing to do with mobility or anything like that, as he said I was a very good cane traveler.
