[nagdu] Guide Dog School

Tue Mar 10 19:16:39 UTC 2015

Hi Marion, this is Helga. How are you? I just wanted to ask you, can I call you later today or probably in two hours or so of you are free in order to ask you some questions regarding guide dog schools, specially Southeastern guide dog school? Would it be possible for you to let me know your phone number? I will really appreciate it a lot! Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!
