[NAGDU] Owner training your own guide-dog

[Alison Miller]

Are there any Fidelco users in this group? I met two people at NFB 2024 in Orlando that I wanted to keep in touch with. One had a dog named Zander and lives in Maine and the other was a Fidelco board member. She gave me her number, but in the information overload of NFB, I could not find the number when I got home. My personal email is aemiller at coj.net. I would love to stay in touch. Thank you. Alison Miller
