<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> I just recently was offered and chose to accept an assistant
professorship position in a small Christian liberal arts university and was told
that I will need to march in a number of ceremonies such as
convocations...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Because I chose, for various reasons not to attend graduation
for my PhD, it has been a really long time since I have had to march in one of
these ceremonies, and the last time I did so, I still had a little of my
vision.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> My question is therefore, how do those of you without any vision,
and especially those with guide dogs, handle marching? For example, how do you
ensure you keep in line and at the correct pace with the procession? Do you use
sited guide or your dog? Any suggestions, information, tips, or advice regarding
these issues or other issues relating to marching without vision would be
sincerely appreciated!</DIV>
<DIV>With very warm regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Christine</DIV>
<DIV>A soon to be Georgian!</DIV>
