    Hi Mariann,<br>
    Welcome to the DB division list.  My name is Janice Toothman.  I am
    the secretary of the DB Division.  I have my first guide dog
    Destiny.  She is a golden lab and flat coat cross and will be 8
    years old next month.  She will soon be retired due to medical
    issues.  I am total blind and have a moderate to profound hearing
    loss for which I use hearing aids and an FM system.  I am completing
    my counseling internship at the Arc of Baltimore in Dundalk Maryland
    from Towson University. In May, I will start looking for a job and
    studying in earnest for the National Counseling Examination that is
    the first step towards obtaining a professional license in
    counseling.<br>
    <br>
    I hope to see all of you at the DB Division Meeting in Orlando in
    sunny, warm Florida.<br>
    Janice<br>
