Deaf Awareness Week culminated in    the final event, "DEAFEST" a street fair with loads of great entertainment, exhibits and info. Needless to say I met some great people. Including Garfield, the Deaf clown and Rosemary, Miss Deaf New York.


A highlight of the event was a mime group called "Toys from Russia".
They held the whole crowd spellbound with their imaginative street performance



On my trip to New York to visit my brother Ed, I made my trip into the Big Apple for a little business and pleasure. On September 20 I did some interpreting for NYSD (New York Society for the Deaf). They provide me work with a phone call anytime I am around New York. After the assignment I made it to the open house at NYSD where I got an extensive tour of the facilities by the executive director Pearl Johnson
