He was one of the primary inventors of the telephone, did important work in communication for the deaf and held more than 18 patents. invention of the telephone.

He also continued his work with the deaf, establishing the American Association to Promote Teaching of Speech to the Deaf in 1890 , with the objective of promoting oral Communication (which later morphed into the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing).

The Bell Telephone Company was organized on July 9th, 1877.

I didn't know that she was involved Happy Days as Fonzie's girlfriend in 1974.

I taught my children watched about Sesame Street on tv because she was involved it also she used Sign Language as well.

We had a book called Sesame Street Sign Language ABC.

Deaf Monarch

Did you know....Most Butterflies are Deaf?

The beautiful butterfly has come to symbolize for the sign.

The miracle of transformation that every butterfly goes through parallels the experience of many deaf and hard of hearing individuals who, with the help and support, emerge ready to spread their wings.

When I was childhood that I found Monarch caterpillar at the bush from my old hometown until teenager.

Then I kept watched every day to feed leaves until became to hatch from changed to the green chryalis.

                                and

  Again I kept watched it until changed to the black chryalis.

Next few days later that I saw changed the color from green chryalis to black chryalis so waited until break out from hatch.

Last one I saw changed to clear hatch into Monarch butterfly then flew away.

Last 2000 year that I taught to my children from their childhood as me from my childhood as well.

Also I'll teach my future grandchildren from our childhoods again.

That was so amazing about Monarch also my favorite kind of it.

MY COMMENTS: One day I will have tattoo about "Monach" on my left leg in the future.
