| One thing I remember from my first
conference |
How much I enjoyed meeting and
talking with parents of children who are deaf or hard of
hearing. |

I believe we can improve education
for our children if we have strong parent-professional
relationships. |

inspirers in this journey |
Bill White, Cathy Walsh, Sandy

| Outside of my involvement with
deaf/hh education, I also… (hobbies) |
Play the piano, read novels, do
crossword puzzles and Sudokus (brain exercise!) |
| And a little about my education,
work or career… |
I have been involved in deaf
education for 33 years (and I hope to go for another 33). |
| And my final words… |
California is so lucky to have such
awesome parents! |
