Audrey Schellenbaum and me. Audrey is another R.N. that has been working for about 8 years. If she can do it, so can I.
Jaime and me with Barbara Jane Howard, a deaf pharmacist. She too is having trouble convincing the state of Alabama to give her a license. She was working already for many years doing just fine and then some hot-shot authority figure new to the state board of licensing in Alabama decided because she was deaf, she could not be issued a renewed license. So all of a sudden one day she was out of a job. Grrr! Sometimes people can be so ignorant! The rest of us rallied around her, knowing that it could happen to any one of us any day to have the misfortune of some panel member with a strong opinion about "dangerous deaf people." [Rabid growling.....hssss!.....]
Ann standing with group of doctors. Wendy, me, Corrine, and Nghi Lu. Corrine is a doctor from Germany and was signing with a German accent; she told us she might have to leave her family in Germany to come to the U.S. to work. She said, "The boss doctor is fighting for my rights to stay home. I talk to the big boss and he no like woman doctors."

We were so excited to see pictures and hear about the conference! We have been anxiously awaiting some news since you left. I (Dad) was heartbroken to hear about your pharmacist friend. Wow. Devastating. So sorry. We need to set up a Google chat to get more details and review your visit
