Attending a residential school for the blind and deaf-blind, seeing hide nor hair of your family over nights, until the weekends came.
Check out our third week of sibling stories, tales from pairs of siblings, both blind with our discussion with Rob (second Outlook appearance) and his sister Jackie.
We discuss their age gap and what that meant for their sibling bonding, about their experiences attending W. Ross McDonald School in Brantford, here in Ontario. We talk Rob’s musical instruments and playing through the floor of the same apartment building they both live in to entertain his big sister.
We talk Dharma & Greg, Hamfest and amateur radio, and the many transitions in life and what it means to have a sibling who gets it.
What is too young to send your child to boarding school anyway? Music and TV were important, have been important outlets for these guests we’re speaking to this week.
