150th TSD Homecoming - Austin

I spend whole weekend at Austin for 150th Anniversary Texas School for the Deaf Homecoming and few other activities. It was beautiful weekend — nice and sunny. Nothing too hot like summer. Part of the reason, I came over there whole weekend because I provided small workshop for several deaf people there to understand little better about Wordpress. We all ultimately will use it as primarily tool for their future website. Very exciting. While I am in town, I went to Austin Association of the Deaf (AAD) for their 60th Anniversary. I was told there’s over 200 people mostly senior citizen and older folks there due to TSD Alumni activities. (Hall of Fame awards) Also, CSD Interpreting Service had its annual award presentation, too. Very nice!! I was told that DPHH Austin had nice crowd there too that evening -- I didn't attend. What's more, RG from Sprint Relay gave away huge sign with light inside with imprint glasses over on it saying "Austin Association of the Deaf" and link to "www.SprintWithRG.com" What a great marketing idea!! I took a lot of pictures during the day and evening. You also will see some pictures of Vernon the Magic from Big Spring, Texas. He performed outdoor magic show and he did terrific job! He reminded me a lot like Matt "Magic" Morgan. See pictures: Of course, many of my family members were in town. It was so good to see them all particularly my cousin Patricia & Lee and my sister Grace & her daughter Kacey thoroughly the weekend. My step mother Donna and Aunt Kathy were in town as well. On Saturday, we went to TSD campus for its 150th Anniversary Homecoming. It's my first time and its tremendous experience for me. I took over 200 pictures during the day and at the football game. I was told they had about 50 booths -- about half are in business and half is more of fundraising thing. I can't believe I saw so many people I knew from DFW area. See pictures:
