I wrote you 3 days ago wanting to know about Nathan Winograd. I found the page on your website about the workshop (which I hate I missed) where he was one of your speakers. So I am safe in saying that his model is the one Austin followed? Is it the only model Austin followed? I am working with some very hard headed people and I want to have my facts straight when I confront them with this information. PLEASE have someone contact me. We desperately need change in the animal sheltering system in Houston.
It’s always a relief when someone with ovibous expertise answers. Thanks!
