-- a description of hockey player's deafness
Mackenzie Stewart, a pro hockey player in the Vancouver
Canucks system, was born deaf. A newspaper said:
was born deaf and needed several surgeries as a child
to restore his hearing
This comment is vague. Did he have CI implants?
Take off his CI's, he is deaf. Or the surgeons did
magic to his ears to make him permanently hearing?
-- a deaf house making it with the National Registry
A deaf house making it with the National Registry.
Not talking about Gallaudet, but of a personal
residence. A house in Anamosa, Iowa, made it.
Years ago it was the house of Edmund and Mary Ann
Booth (1840-1849), the town's first frame house.
A bit of history on Edmund, an amazing deaf man -
school teacher in Connecticut, gold prospector,
newspaper editor, founder of Iowa School for the
Deaf. The Booths signed ASL - and as a matter of
cruel irony, the son, Frank Booth, as the
superintendent of Nebraska School for the Deaf,
hated ASL and forced oral education on his
students!
