Funny and it is not exactly concoindence with deaf man to communicate with other man.. Clueless.. But not today if I can see or something I will know the person is deaf or not.

For nothing to written back forth for one hours.

just small concoindence with the person.

Good story about car accident. Poor lady panic.

Love to hear story about deaf or something happened.

FIRST THING MIGHT LADY NEVER MET DEAF PERSON MIGHT BE YOUR DAD MET FIRST PERSON DEAF. SECOND HA HA HA IT IS SMALL WORLD THOUGHT HEARING EACH OTHER. FOR MYSELF I USE SIGN LANGAUGE BEGIN TO HEARING PEOPLE SO HEARING WAKE UP AND GET PAPER OR HEARING SAID I KNOW SIGN LANGAUGE NO PLM EASY COMMCATION EACH OTHER SMOOTH OUT. SOMETIME I DONT LIKE SAID " I AM DEAF " MOSTLY SIGN LANGAUGE WILL KNOW QUICKY IDENTY DEAF PERSON.

Very enlightening vlog presentations about the heydays of deaf lives, especially your deaf father!

That seems very common for deaf people being unaware of the presence of another deaf person in same place.

Just recently happened in Wheaton bar (MD) which one deaf individual - Aaron sat there momentarily next to another deaf person, Juan from Columbia (country). They did not know each others at all.

The hearing bartender on the duty was puzzled why Aaron and Juan did not strike any communication in ASL. He pointed out to both of guys "YOU BOTH DEAF" right next to each other.

Aaron and Juan looked at each other and begun chatted right away in ASL.

Cy, thanks again for sharing your family's bumbling experiences.
