Another essential interview to include in Carolyn's book was with Lottie Riekehof. Lottie wrong the Joy of Signing and was instrumental in the establishment of our profession. She is also believed to be the very FIRST interpreter educator, training interpreters to interpret at Central Bible College in the 1940's.
She is an amazing woman that has contributed a great deal to our profession and to all of humanity in general. She adopted and raised 29 deaf children from other countries and inspires people with he musical talents. When asked how she keeps on going at the age of 92, she responded, "I keep going because I keep going." She is truly a gift to the human race and is an inspiring individual.We were also able to visit the United States Naval Academy while we were in Annapolis and eat on the docks. We bought Jake a t-shirt in honor of his enlisting in the Navy.
We visited with Carol Patrie and met Paula, Carolyn's (and Carol's) editor.
