From the GEB website:
Patrick, a fit and active 63-year old from Kansas City, Missouri, has
returned to Guiding Eyes for the Blind for his fourth dog, Paul. Each of his
previous three dogs had been with him for close to a decade. Diagnosed when he
was 25 with Coat's disease, Patrick was totally blind by the time he was 33.
He is a graduate of Central Missouri State University with a major in sociology
and psychology. He is enjoying his second marriage, as well as his two daughters
and five grandchildren. Patrick currently serves as a Senior Disability Rights
Advocate for Whole Persons, Inc., and is a member of the Heartland Guide Dog
Users Group. He loves to travel, walk, water ski, boat and fish. Patrick is
assertive and outgoing, and describes "Perfect Paul" as friendly and loving,
a dog that likes to please and plays and works with vigor. Reflecting on his
relationship with Guiding Eyes for the Blind through three decades, Patrick
says: "The atmosphere is more positive than ever, the staff (as always) is
wonderful, the facilities are much improved, and the careful and selective
breeding of the dogs is superior."
