-- refusing to come back
Yesterday's DeafDigest mentioned a deaf man, with
interpreter, being thrown out of Law Amendments
Committee meeting in Halifax. The committee
changed its mind and invited him to come back
the next day. But Robert Tupper refused to
accept the invititation, saying the
committee members do not respect the deaf!

-- corner mirrors
Do deaf people need corner mirrors? They cannot
hear footsteps and may accidentally bump into
someone coming in from the other room. At the
Tokyo Metropolitan Katsushika School for the Deaf
(Japan). Mirrors are bein installed at
room corners. The teachers were tired of telling
deaf children to slow down; they run hard
and get knocked down when bumping into someone
at the corners! Did it help? The school
officials said yes.
-- still not able to find parents
DeafDigest mentioned several times that Geeta
accidentally entered Pakistan from India as
a child and was held for 13-15 years.
The Pakistinan officials allowed her to
return to India. She has been in India for
about two months. Many people came over
saying they are Geeta's parents. She has
rejected all of them, saying she doesn't
know them.
