[nagdu] New to the list

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Bob,

Congratulations and welcome!  I look forward to hearing of your new
adventures from such an unusual viewpoint!  Come to think of it, if the rest
of Mitzi's career and retirement go by the book, I won't be quite as much of
sweet young thing if I go to TSE -- or anywhere -- the first time as I like
to tell myself I will be.  Shhh!  Don't tell.  Ladies don't discuss their
age!  /giggle/

Have fun enjoying the anticipation and the journey you'll be taking with
your dog.

Tami Smith-Kinney

    Hi Bertha,

I too am relatively new to the list joining three or four weeks ago.  Thus 
far I've been relatively silent, just listening and learning since I do not 
yet have a dog.  I too will be going to the Seeing Eye this summer, probably

in the class after yours.  Like you I am looking forward to the adventure 
but like you I am somewhat apprehensive since I'm an inexperienced air 
traveler and uncertain about all sorts of things.

One major difference between you as well as  many others on this list and me

is that I will be sixty five years old at the end of May and after being 
blind for more than fifty years and after using a cane for about 45 of those

years I've decided that I want the freedom and options that a dog will 
allow.  I don't know if I'm their oldest first-time dog user or not but I 
must be among them.  I too am sure that I will have lots of questions in the

coming weeks and months.  I wish you the best as you go to New Jersey in May

and I hope you will keep the list informed about your adventures.  Good 
Luck.
