Kathy, Ken,
Well, ...
[Disclaimer, I have something to do with The Seeing Eye]

But, I have had 8 dogs from The Seeing Eye over the years and now work at
the school. I'd be happy to talk with you both about the training program
and dogs. Also, you might be interested in knowing we have a club ham radio
station in the student dorm with HF, VHF, and UHF capability, W2TSE,
available to students while in class. Also, several of us who are Seeing Eye
grads have started building a network of linked AllStar / EchoLink
repeaters. Connect via EchoLink to me at KY2D-R or to  KB5ELV-R, or KB5UJM-R
or via AllStar to node 2396 or 2331. I have some components to eventually
put a UHF repeater on campus but that project is stuck behind some other
things at the moment.

73, Jim, KY2D
