The trainer who arrived to interview me is called Percy. He was empathetic 
and he has a class towards the end of November, but wasn't completely sure 
that he'd have a dog that walks fast enough to match me. I'll go on the 
waiting list and a dog would be found as soon as possible. He also offered 
to look into placing me on the waiting list to improve my long cane skills 
with one of their mobility instructors. Thanks for everyone's support and 
prayers.
