Re: Institute in Illinois?

June 1, 2003

Is anyone else from here attending the Institute for

Parents of Preschool Children who are deaf or hard of

hearing, being held in Illinois by DSCC?

Just curious, as we will be there.

Debbie,

I went about 3 years ago. It was wonderful. I still have friends that I had

met there. My friend will be on the parent panel. Her name is Debbie. She has

a deaf son. I loved ISD. We had recently been thinking of moving down there.

I live east of Joliet. Where are you from? I have been back to ISD for several

seminars. ville is a beautiful town. I hope you have time to drive

around and look at all the beautiful old houses. Please let me know how you

liked it.

I am not going to the workshop but my daughter will be attending ISD in the

fall. My husband and I attended Illinois College, which is across the street

from the school for the deaf. I worked at ISD for three years as a college

worker. It is a nice place. If it weren't, my daughter wouldn't be attending

High School there. Being in the military we decided she needed more stability

than the army could possibly offer. Presently we live in La. We hope to move

closer to Ill. as well. My son wants to attend Il. COllege in a year or so.

Duncan Park is across the street from ISD. SOmetimes one of the Ladies

societies offers tours of former governer Duncan's house which is located in the

park. Well worth the couple of bucks paid to get in. The gov. house it typical

of many of the older homes located there in ville. I think we toured

on Sunday if you are interested.

Enjoy your visit to ville and at ISD.
