[Oagdu] Welcome Angel.

[Angel]

I was a Dog Guide handler from 1969 to 1987, or there about.  I told another 
on the list it was 78.  But, that was when I received my second Guide from 
Pilot Dogs.  That time for me was a most interesting time.  I thank you most 
sincerely for your warm welcome. I live in Ohio, and look forward to reading 
and contributing to the list  from time to time.
