On hearing about the courses being organised by Guide Dogs for the Blind, reminded us of the series we recorded on Playback back in 1978 giving information to sighted people about helping blind people. It was based on a book written by Bob Foster, then a mobility officer, about a number of aspects of guiding and living with a blind person. This is a feature from the last chapter in the book dealing food, we hear from Rita Gardner, Donald Anderson, Ann Winning and Bob Foster.
