-- today's memo highlights of Gallaudet presidential search
The memo distributed today re highlights of the Gallaudet
presidential search is as follows
* interest in this position is high
* several applicants had "confidential conversations"
* series of interviews to last several months
* public campus interviews to take part Fall 2015 semester
What this means, we will have to wait until this fall
to see how the whole process develops (hint Gallaudet
homecoming week; this opinion is DeafDigest only)
-- A short film about a deaf man in soccer
One of the films shown at the recent New York Film Festival
is "Hear This" which is about a hearing son of a
deaf father. The hearing son worships his father, a great
soccer player. The son is angry that his father was not
allowed to become the coach because of his deafness.
The son wants to show the world that they were wrong about
the deaf.
-- a hidden fact about Robert Durst
There was a big story about Robert Durst, who was recently
arrested by New Orleans police because of a murder case
in Los Angeles. What many of us did not know was that
he once faked as a deaf woman, using the name of a woman,
who was an old high school friend. He used that name to
avoid being arrested by the police in Texas in 2001.
