SHHH, which will recommence meetings in October (stay tuned to this channel should they restart in September!), is compiling a list of quiet and not-so-quiet restaurants from among its members. The purpose is to promote the good ones and encourage the others to depress the decibels.
The local SHHH coordinators are Merton and Suzie Hill (793-1916).
She performed a test to see how well those in the Main Library auditorium could read lips. There was just one person besides the speaker who was NOT hard of hearing. Only one person failed the test. Guess which one? The rest of us? We didn't realize how much we rely on lip-reading, nor the extent of our talent!--Terry Miller
