[NAGDU President]

Chip,

	It was great to chat with you the other day and I am happy to see
you joined our list, if even for awhile. I am certain there will be others
who will offer some input to you, as well.

Fraternally yours,
Marion

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.

Subject: [NAGDU] Robotic Guide Dog - Elementary School Project

Hello folks and greetings,
My daughter is an elementary school teacher and has been placed in charge of
her school's robotics group this year. This year's project is a robotic
guide dog - is it possible?  Her class is in charge with investigating what
would be needed in a guide dog and then pass those findings on to the High
School  Tobotic team. I'm totally blind but havve never owned a guide dog,
so when she called me the other day and they wanted to know what would be
the most important properties of a robotic guide dog I told them that I'd do
some asking around and see what actual owners of dog's thought. I'd
appreciate you taking a little time and giving these kids your thoughts. If
you'd like to respond off list my email address is
chipandtracysplace at gmail.com - have a great day everyone.
