-- a surprise beach discovery
315,000 pieces of stuff were lost in the sands of the
beaches of New Jersey last year. One such stuff is
interesting - a hearing aid!
-- a self-made retired teacher of the deaf
A deaf teacher at a deaf school retired about
ten years ago. What is he doing nowaways?
Busier than ever with a long list of civic
and community activities in the Deaf
Community. And on the side he owns rental
houses that he is his own landlord, repairman
and rental manager. While he gets retirement
checks every month, is he able to live on only
the rental income? He said yes! Something
very admirable.
-- messing up a school board meeting
In Dearborn, Michigan, the school board opened its
meeting with an agenda to discuss. The deaf program
was not on the agenda. This meeting was interrupted
by a large group of angry parents of deaf children
that crashed the room uninvited. They were angry
because the board wanted to close the deaf program.
The room was so crowded that everyone had to stand.
For nearly three hours, parent after parent took
turns explaining to the board how important the
deaf program was to their children. Could this
happen in Congress or in State Houses? No, but
it happened in Dearborn.
