DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - November 15, 2019 -- honoring the ultimate late-bloomer Betty Bounds Evans, Austin, TX career deaf woman, passed away recently. She was remarkable if only for one reason - as the ultimate late-bloomer. After graduating from Gallaudet her goals were simple - get married, start a family and enjoy teaching the deaf in the classrooms. Over the years she evolved and moved up the ladder - director of a Gallaudet regional center, as a corporate executive, and lastly, as an assistant superintendent of Texas School for the Deaf. She was that ambitious and was willing to relocate several times while attaining her professional goals.   -- A comment from Amazon, true or false Amazon said it is one of the only tech companies in USA to have full time ASL interpreter.
