DPN10 Anniversary: In Their Own Words-Frank W. Turk, Jr.

Frank W. Turk, Jr.

"I'm not sure which day it was, but I spent a day by the Gallaudet front entrance and interpreted as needed. I recall interpreting for a deaf woman for a radio show -- there wasn't a woman interpreter available at the time.... Later in the day, there was a crew from the DC government that suddenly appeared at the Florida Avenue main entrance. Students were monitoring the flow of traffic onto campus and in what seemed to be an effort on the part of the DC work crew to support the cause, they pulled out jackhammers and started in earnest to do "an important task" and tore up the street in front of Gally's main gate. This action further limited traffic on campus. Whether it was intentional or not I'm not sure, but it appeared to be an action that supported the cause."
