[NAGDU] Criminal background check

[Wayne & Harley]

*Hello Cindy,
I plead guilty to a misdemeanor in 1990 ( 27 years ago ). Does that make 
me a criminal? In your eyes, does that disqualify me from eligibility to 
own, and successfully work with a Guide Dog, something I've been doing 
for seventeen years?
Or, can I not put that event in my past behind me? What about others 
that have had things in their past that they've moved on from?
Food for thought....
