R. Aumon Bass...

I am sure you know your great uncle was a very influential deaf man at Virginia School for the Deaf. He wrote a history of VSD and a building at VSD is named for him.

I was touched by your memoirs of him crying at his wife's grave. Shows his depth of emotion and also the fact that his world was very "deaf" centered. Deaf tell me he was a very strong Christian and a great influence on many deaf students at VSD.

This is Edwin Carrington, a historic deaf alarm clock researcher. I know your uncle through my research. He had his own alarm clock contraption. He call it "Big Boss". I have picture of his work however I do not have much information of how it work. I am wondering if your family have that contraption somewhere or provide me more information on this. I am attempting to remake his contraption and post in you tube for everybody's benefit. please email me at ecarrington@icc.edu or flatbean05@verizon.net Look forward to hear from you.
