Fred, the Deaf nominee and award winner of a Distinguished Service Award given during the Lou Fant Memorial Fund banquet.  Congratulations to Fred and thank you for all your tireless work.
Patty, the interpreter nominee and award winner of a Distinguished Service Award also shared her story.  Unfortunately, my video camera ran out of memory to record her story.  I (Daryl) will be interviewing Patty soon so she can share her story with you here.  Congratulations and much appreciation for all your dedicated effort for the profession and the next generation of interpreters.
