hey Scott that was a good post, smile, not sure how to comment as I am not a subscriber, smile.
But yep Judson and I were tour guides for two and a half years, from my Freshman year till the beginning of my senior year. And in that time I only had one family decide that they didn't want a blind tour guide. Most families thought it was a really neat experience and a lot of them liked my insight on the campus. Smile.
I did enjoy it, plus earned money for Pizza's on Thursday nights and got great people skills smile. having to deal with tired kids, or the parents who ask and hope we state the correct answer, smile, about sex, alcohol on campus or the like, even when they don't want to hear the truth, ah, those were the days.
Smile.Judson was an absolutely beautiful Golden retriever, a rich medium honey gold color, still is though he is now going silver.
