Greetings from Canada to all GU ‘71ers!
Some of you recently requested and received a complimentary copy of my book, Samuel Thomas Greene: A Legend in the Nineteenth Century Deaf Community. So far, I have shipped twenty-eight (28) copies to some of you.
I still have some copies left for any ‘71er who missed the opportunity. See information on how to obtain a copy for your reading pleasure.
Hope to see you all at Class of 1971’s 50th Anniversary Reunion in October 2021. Until then, stay safe and healthy during COVID-19.

Book Title: Samuel Thomas Greene: A Legend in the Nineteenth Century Deaf Community, softcover, 224 pages, 6”x9” 33 black and white photos throughout ISBN 1-55306-956-0 Retail price: $29.95 CAD
Samuel Thomas Greene, born in 1843, grew up in Maine, attended North America’s first permanent and publicly supported school for deaf children in Hartford, Connecticut, and the world’s first degree-granting college for deaf students, in Washington, D.C. Later, he became an accomplished teacher in Canada at a provincial school for the deaf in Belleville, Ontario. He was a multitalented man who made significant contributions to the development of the nineteenth century Deaf Community. Despite several stone edifices and other memorials that mark his existence, not a single book about him has been written – until now.
This book documents Greene’s life, providing an archival story that includes a selection of his original school compositions, letters, writings, and speeches along with a broad selection of photographs and other documented materials of interest. It will help preserve Greene’s legacy for many generations and will be a resource for future writers to expand on to further share his extraordinary story. This biography also is a valuable addition to the growing collection of Deaf profiles that readers can enjoy.
