[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

I'm going to jump on you with this, Mike - Alexander Graham Bell
and SHHH organizations are much more supportive of the whole
hearing impaired population than the NAD is - at least, they make
an effort to provide information for all aspects of hearing loss
and all communication modes.

Perhaps this is the reason NAD is in such dire straits - especially
with mismanagement, loss of funding and loss of members.

It's really a shame that many of you will not try to mingle with
the whole HI population and we all work together to improve things
for all of us.

All of us should use our experiences in helping the future generation
and trying to make things better for all instead of slapping this
way and that way simply because it didn't work for us.
