[nagdu] I was not excepted

[Marsha Drenth]

Jenny, 

I am sorry to hear this. I would say there loss. The really great thing we have in America is consumer choice. there are other guide dog schools, and other guide dog schools you can apply to. Yes GDB is great, but there are other schools that can meet your needs too. 

Keep us updated, and what you dedicde to do.

I explained that the sidewalks in Rockford are treturous, and that between walking to the bus stop, getting to the correct gate at the terminal, and then walking from the bus stop to wherever I'm going constitutes that twenty minutes, it's just not a streight non-stop twenty minutes.
