HELEN KELLER
HELEN KELLERBack in the late forties or the early fifties Helen Keller made an appearance in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at our North Side High School.
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the event. She made a speech there. It was amazing to hear her speak. While she was deaf and blind she learned to speak in spite of her disabilities. She did not sound completely normal but you could understand her words and make complete sense of her speech.
Helen Keller was a brilliant woman and went far beyond what the average person could have accomplished in her condition. I think her accomplishments were far greater than she might have achieved had she been born with all of her faculties intact.
I am glad to say that I did see her and hear her speak. What an amazing woman!

We once visited Helen Keller's home and saw the pump where she first learned the word "water." She was an inspiration!
