Where do you get that? and will it work with say a personal CD player? I didn’t get all the info on that, and am very curious to try, if I know where to purchase. thanks–Susan D

I love that CAN DO attitude too. I came away from the convention with information about how to take up the piano again, as an HH/deaf person. I’ve been so happy!!! I even tried the piano again yesterday without the equalizer mentioned in one fo the workshops. The second thing I tried– which I hadn’t before– was webcaptel. I had heard about it, but never tried it. OH SO COOL!! I could even talk to my daughter on her cell which has been a problem for awhile. :-)

I am looking forward to next years Con so that I can put some faces with the names of friends that I have made in the SayWhatClub. Also, I want to become as knowledgeable as those who seem to make the most of what they CAN DO and not what they can’t do, and it seems there are so many workshops that help with that goal. I am so glad Philly was such a success!! Hope to see you all next year!!

I got back to Sacramento last night (I missed my first flight, but Continental was accomodating).

I can’t begin to put into words how wonderful it was to meet my friends, put faces to names, share smiles, hugs, tears, and acceptance.

And the seminars and workshops were amazing – I’ve been to “professional” seminars that weren’t nearly as powerful and informative.

And I’m so happy that this WON’T be the last Con, and that it’s coming out west next year. ;)

I’ll write more of my memories down soon, because I just have to. :)

My deepest thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put this together. AWESOME doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Paul S
