Last weekend, Grant and his girlfriend went to 5th Annual Silent Night Deaf Ministry Scholarship Benefit at Lover Lane United Methodist Church (LLUMC) in Dallas. This is his 2nd time to attend – last time, he went there and watched World First Deaf Solo Rode Sailboat around the World presentation.
It was enjoyment overall along silent auction, entertainment, presentation, and wonderful dinner & dessert including brief presentation from DISD Trustee Dr. Edwin Flores. Grant won one of the bidding, he received “A VIP Wine Tasting Event for 20” event worth $750 according to certification. He never been there before and looking forward to it!!
Kudo to Rev. Dr. Tom Hudspeth and his team for wonderful event again!
Also, she kept saying how important that parent stay activity in their deaf children during school times. It is clearly that our community has a long way to go. Katie’s dream is to establish an unbiased information network to all parents of deaf children. Yes, that would include sign language, cochlear implant, hearing aid, oral methods, etc. The Bottom line is to get best communication and education for deaf children.
It does of the highest importance that parent understand what it takes to raise deaf children otherwise the children will be lost forever.
If you live in Texas and want to get with Miss Deaf Texas Katie Murch for show and presentation, contact them!! Grant promised it is best investment you ever get for your local event, whether it is for deaf or hearing audiences.

Several weeks ago, Grant sold his selling item through craigslist.org for 300 dollars cash. Next day, Grant and his girlfriend went Home Depot and purchased a new air condition unit for 399 dollars which means he would pay the difference. It’s no problem.
When they approached cashier, he skipped self-service checkout because he doesn’t want to deal with many 20s in cash into a machine. They are already in line for human cashier but this young man from self - checkout jumped and wanted them go there. (He watch four machines) He hesitated but agreed to go for it. He immediately scanned all items including an air condition unit with his wireless scanner gun. He gave all 20s in cash ($300) to self-service checkout man — he took it the money. Apparently he’s trying to force-rush the money (20s dollars) into self-service checkout machine and it got stuck big time.
He called his manager lady to look into it. Unfortunately, she had to open a self-service checkout machine to clean out stuck dollars out. She gave us 100 dollars in 20s back, but they told her one more 20s is missing. Manager said no because machine said we only put 100 dollars into a machine. What’s more, self-service checkout man told manager that Grant screwed it up? Grant’s girlfriend (wear hearing aid) overheard him and speak out. She told manager that this self-service checkout man screw it up and want last 20 buck back. To make it a short story, they got all money back and went back to a human cashier line.
If it wasn’t for his hard of hearing girlfriend, he may not hear what self-service checkout man told manager and may end up longer to fight back through paper and pen. Who knows?
