Today as we complete the August edition of Listen Up! before I deliver the final draft to the printers, I am not just reflecting on July 27th, 2009, my first day of employment at the Association for the Hearing Impaired, Inc. I am remembering my first introduction to the agency; Sandie Clark and all of the others who took an idea and worked tirelessly to make it the viable agency that it soon became. Nearly twenty years ago, I took an ASL class with Corky and regularly borrowed assistive equipment for my Dad to try out when I visited my family on Boston’s South Shore. The Association was successful then and many years after because it was able to engage its membership.
