mrs. lippitt said sign language will be a wall between people so i will teach her to speak. against all odds, she taught her how to speak, and she is what we would today call mainstream like she was to a normal school and she had a perfectly normal life. now, i wonder what it means for juliette gordon low to have a best friend's sister conquer her deafness in the language of the day. they all knew one another, they hung out with one another, so she has an example of jenny lippitt who had conquered and overcome her deafness. what did this mean? maybe it was i think juliette low had an understanding of what profound deafness was. all right, this is high hall, and it's the home of her other friend, mary gail clark. she was a kind gentlewoman. but she also came from a family with a very deep vein depression perhaps bipolar disorder. it's hard to know. but suicidal tendencies ran in the family. her father committed suicide, her sister committed suicide, she had a brother who was suicidal and she herself was suicidal, so this is a very difficult but a different kind of disability
