I agree.
In any walk of life you have to use whatever tools are available to you.

I had a big fall out with a neighbour who is a retired teacher of deaf
children as she was bigoted that signing should be banned, and only lip
reading used!

While I understand that guide dog schools are in the business of providing
guide dogs, this cane verses dog guide mentality went out with dinosaurs.
For example, sighted people don't totally abandon pens pencils and paper
just because they have access to advanced technology.  It's good to keep
your cane skills up.

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you by pointing out that reply address problem,
because I didn't mean to.  But others on this list have the same issue, and
I thought maybe they could benefit.  So when you reply to a message on this
list, you all might want to check the, "To," field to make sure the reply is
going to the list and not just to the person's individual email address.

Hi Harvey!

When I went to GDB in 1987, they told us we don't want to see people using
canes around here. This is a guide dog school, and that is how you will
travel from this day forward. That was certainly true for the time that I
worked the dog. 

If they've changed their tune since then, that wouldn't be a bad thing.   

The Eye is certainly a top notch school.
