Experience Story: Bruce Linsky


Bruce Linsky of Philadelphia, PA, came to Associated Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ASB) as a client in the early 1990’s after being diagnosed with cone and rod dystrophy which impaired his vision.

Not to be “dogged” by his visual impairments, Bruce sought a way to conquer his limitations and help others in similar situations.

In 1992, while taking Life Skills classes and participating in extracurricular activities at ASB, Bruce became involved in raising and training guide dogs for Seeing Eye and is currently training his 13th puppy, a German Shepherd named Davin.

In addition to raising guide dogs and taking classes at ASB, Bruce can be found at Fairmount Park on Tuesday and Friday mornings with 14 other clients, volunteers, and staff of ASB. They are all members of ASB’s multi-award winning “Hands-On” Gardening Program
