[nagdu] Guides at NFB training centers

Debbie.
Thank you for sharing your
experiences as a dog user at
the center.  I think that will
be something important to
share with people.


Warmly,
Melissa R. Green and Pj
It is 'where we are' that
should make all the
difference, whether we believe
we belong there or not.

I agree in part, though I
think the Centers would need
time to 
work out how to make these
changes.  I think it could
happen but 
I think that it will take
awhile if ever to convince
people who 
can make these changes that
they are important changes to
make.  
I think the Colorado Center
makes a good attempt, within
the 
limits that are imposed.  A
couple of the staff are dog
users, 
one of the travel instructors
is a former dog user so has
some 
understanding of working with
a dog.  When I told him at the
end 
of my training that I was
probably going to get another
dog, he 
was very supportive of that
decision.  He did, of course 
encourage me to use my cane
once in a while.  (Smile).
