She had a quiet life of "privilege" and was most certainly a "born Deaf" and culturally Deaf person. Carrie, as far as history goes,..should have been long forgotten,..not even a footnote in the history of Hearing or Deaf affairs. She was quiet..(unlike your truly :D), and amishwoman1http://www.blogger.com/profile/00697258821044153057noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862642.post-1106103867771167992005-01-18T18:49:00.000-08:002005-01-18T19:04:27.770-08:00The ladies and gentlrmen of L--- Center in Wads----, Ohio were a really neat group of folk with whom we visited recently.

About fifty elderly ladies and one elderly gentleman came to hear Rosezelle and myself do our readings, and seated themselves,...waiting to be entertained.

The lunch first:
The lady, who got together with Rosezelle and I to have her book signed,.was an extremely pleasant person with no great demands on anyone. That was what caught my attention right off the bat about her.

Rosezelle says that I will enjoy doing this "gig!' We are also invited to lunch!! That is fine with me!

Suppose someone took you out of your "natural" enviroment and placed you in a situation full of the "uneducated,..stupid, bigoted, and naturally doltish!!"

The sermon was not too far out and I always enjoy a good debate on the practice of "speaking in tongues!" Just because I do not share an opinion on something does not mean that I cannot enjoy what the other person has to say to me!! The minister was very sincere and actually "spoke in tongues' while we were there at the sermon!

No community is free from gossip. The gift of gossip is one that can be taken two ways..ie...(a) what the gossip does to the person being gossiped about and (b) what it does to the people doing the gossiping.
