Lois Markel, the Queen of the Deaf Maryland's Markel Boys has died few days ago. I was not able to respond quickly because I was not exactly happy with the news.
My great uncle Grover Poole Jr introduced Lois to Edwin who wished to marry a "deaf farming woman" and in the process, created a lasting legacy of Deaf Maryland.
Everyone who is Deaf in Maryland knew who the Markels are.
Godspeed, Lois. You earned the rest.
Cheers,

I was born in East Coast of the US. I grew up to adore Pocahontas .... then there is Sacajawea. Much later, I travelled up northwest in 2016 after my mother's death. I learned more about Sacajawea on the way to Montana and Idaho. Then at the capital of Helena, Montana - I sat and watched this profound artwork. Sacajawea is amazing. I had the opportunity to honor the burial of Sacajawea's son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau in Oregon.
Just typical Deaf gay man who cannot stand Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg
