Chicago, IL
about me I'm 68 yrs. old. I was hard of hearing, slowly becoming deaf when I earned my B.S. in Agriculture at Southern Illinois University - Carbondale in 1974. Between 1976 and 1988 I lived, worked and shared ownership of a self -sufficiency oriented farming collective near Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois. I've been practicing Tai Chi Chuan (taijiquan) since 1970. I've earned graduate degrees and I taught T'ai Chi professionally from 1974 to 2006. I'm now a Deaf Literacy Tutor.
