[NAGDU] update on GDA exceptence

[John Sanders]

Hi,
sorry for the long delay.
I could go in October yes.
I had told them that I wouldlike  a golden retriever female.
But I also told them that I'm open to other breeds as well.
I get nervous and sometimes have a habbit of walking a really quick 
speed when crossing streets.
They said that is something that I need to work on.
They said that they would submit the report to admissions.
The person i talked to, his name was Steve.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders
