What really convinced me was that they even had sports! So, I decided I wanted to go to Faribault. I looked through the brochure and I really liked what I saw. We received a brochure from the school for the Deaf (MSAD) in Faribault. I started off attending a regular public school, but after I became Deaf I went to an oral school in Duluth. As a boy, I had normal hearing until the age of eight, at which time I also became Deaf due to spinal meningitis. I feel very lucky to have attended the Faribault school for fourteen years and to have graduated from there. So, I went off to Faribault (the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf – MSAD) when I was four.
My mother had been quite ill and my father had left us. At that time, my family had many difficulties.
I started school when I was four years old, which made me the youngest student in the school. KM: Well, I became Deaf at the age of three due to spinal meningitis. Could you tell me about yourself - where you grew up, what your education was like? I’d like to ask you both some questions, but I’ll start with Kathleen. I’d like to introduce a special couple – Lloyd and Kathleen Moe.
