-- a big honor in Australia
A big honor in Australia is induction into the
National Road Transport Hall of Fame. Since
Australia is huge with a vast Outback, transportation
(vehicles, huge trucks and buses) is very important.
This society has inducted Jim Ashley, a deaf man,
into its Hall of Fame. Jim has, for 43 years, driven
all types of buses, touring coaches, semi trailers,
container forks and other huge vehicles. You can see
two pictures of him at:

-- a hospital just doesn't learn its lesson
Almost all hospitals know that ADA requires interpreters
for deaf patients. Once a hospital is guilty, it
quickly learns its lesson and provides interpreters for
future deaf patients. Not so with the Baptist Hospital,
Miami, Florida. This hospital was penalized in the
past for not providing an interpreter. And again
this same hospital is being sued for the same thing.
Seems the hospital just cannot learn its lesson!
-- another top deaf chef
DeafDigest mentioned Kurt Ramborger being invited to
the World’s Best Deaf Chef contest. There is another
deaf chef - with a big honor - Charleston Wallace,
a deaf chef with the Eddie V's Prime Seafood restaurant
in Tampa, Florida. He won the chain's national honor
as the top chef. This restaurant chain, serving only
best dishes, has nine restauarants in Texas, California,
Arizona and Florida.
