Lou Ann Walker
In "A Loss for Words", she writes, "As my parents' child, I was part of the deaf world with its culture, even though, I could hear and was thus wired to normal society. My parents' friends felt I was "one of them", and years later, when deaf people asked me how I learned sign language, I could see them relax, I could see the relief on their faces, when I told them my were deaf."
I met Lou Ann a few weeks ago at my college.
