Breaking News
American Association Deaf-Blind, Inc. (AADB)
* Dedication—July AADB E-News is dedicated to William K. Edmond, a deaf-blind survivor of Hurricane Katrina, who passed away on April 19, 2007.
Mr. Edmond’s passion was building fine furniture. He sanded and polished his furniture--he used no nails, but simply fitted the pieces together like a puzzle. He was very active in a small Baptist church for the deaf in New Orleans, where he worked as a church handyman, building pulpits and other furniture. Amazingly, even though the church was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, one of the pulpits that Mr. Edmond built survived. Mr. Edmond lived briefly in Columbus, OH upon evacuating New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit.
