Why Has It Been So Quiet Around Here?

Posted on February 13th, 2009 by DeafMom

I’ve been out having fun and showing off some Z’s!

Mike Finneran from CSDVRS, Karen Meyer from ABC News, dunno who, Julie Chavez from Dupage Center for Independent Living.

Watch for an upcoming segment on the ABC News– I will post a link here when it’s up.  Mike and I joined the Joliet Deaf Senior Citizens later that day.  This group is special to me.  I started that group twenty years ago along with a handful of senior citizens.  When I left my job, the seniors continued to run the group, growing it simply by word of mouth.

Barbara Hucek and her husband, Wendell were one of the original seniors and leaders in the group.  She reminds me so much of my Aunt Velma, that’s probably why I love her!

We made a call to Chris Wagner at the CSDVRS headquarters in Florida.  As we zipped the Z-340 around the room, the seniors all had the chance to say hi to Chris.  Mike Finneran talked about 911, the ten-digit numbering and showcased the Z-100 and Z-150.

We finished off with a Pizza Night with some local people, giving them a chance to see the videophones and ask questions.

Tonight, there will be another opportunity to see the Z videophones at Duppies Night at 7 p.m. at the Other Side, 2436 N. Clark Street.

On another note, if you want to know why my hair is quickly going gray:

When the Oldest Kid Starts Driving.

Happy Friday the 13th!
