-- a cruel fate for a deaf cyclist
Jacob Landis, Annapolis, MD, was on a cross country cycling
tour, visiting every major league baseball stadium, to
raise funds to help the deaf. He was in Florida and was
going to cycle back home to complete his national tour.
Unfortunately, a hit and run driver crashed into his
bicycle - causing serious injuries. thus stopping
the tour. DeafDigest hopes Jacob will recover soon.
-- a deaf dog is a hero
A deaf English Springer Spaniel has become a hero
in Salem, Oregon! She may be deaf but she can smell!
At 6 AM one morning, she smelled something strange
and barked so loud, waking up her master. It was a
burglar. The master physically overpowered the
burglar and held him for the cops to arrive to make
the arrest. Yes, the dog's master is not deaf!
-- Dummy Hoy exhibit removed at a museum
A deaf baseball fan went to a museum, expecting to
see the Dummy Hoy exhibit. It was not there, much
to his disappointment. He said "I guess the Hoy
exhibit was not popular and was removed". Where
is that museum? It is the Cincinnati Reds museum. Hoy,
who played 14 seasons in majors, spent 4 seasons
with the Reds, and it was where he had his best
seasons (1894 thru 1897)!
