-- a star deaf college athlete becomes a deaf doctor
We have a new deaf doctor - Josh Reiher, a graduate of the
University of Wisconsin medical school. In the past he
was a star soccer player at University of Indiana.
His team was one of the best in the nation and he scored
key goals in some big games. He also played for the USA
Deaflympics soccer team.
-- five interpreters in a Nevada court case
A court case in Nevada involving a deaf man had
five interpreters! The first interpreter translated
English into ASL. The second interpreter, deaf, translated
ASL into simple sign language. The third and fourth were
backups. The fifth interpreter interpreted between deaf
defendant and his attorney. Yes, the court case took much
more time because of so much interpreting involved.
-- the deaf owning a Deaf Smith $5.00 bill
Before 1845, Texas was not part of USA, and had their own
money. When Texas joined USA, the Texas money became
no good. Yet, there are people, both deaf, and hearing,
that collect Texas money. The deaf collectors of the
famous Deaf Smith $5.00 bill are Steve Baldwin, Harvey Corson,
Larry Evans, David Myers (who owns two bills), Kenneth
Rothschild, and the estate of Ralph & Frances White.
How valuable is this Deaf Smith $5.00 bill? Hard to say -
depends on the condition.
(DeafDigest thanks Dr. Steve Baldwin, author, The Legacy of
Deaf Smith, for this valuable piece of information! He is
the nation's #1 authority on Deaf Smith history)
