It is a small world, indeed. Several people contacted me recently to congratulate me for getting my name in print - only to leave me confused. What article? What magazine? Then I turn to my trusty friend - Mr. Google - and found the article, quite a lovely one at that.
The blurb mentioning me is as following:
"...Alumni include Kaitlyn Mielke, 25, who credits her stage experience for transforming her from 'a shy child who simply nodded yes or no to everything, to a full-emerged drama queen.'
'I became more confident in myself, in school, in life, at work - everywhere.', says Mielke, a student at the University of Minnesota and Miss Deaf Minnesota in 2008."...

"A Listening Ear" by Vicki Gerson (Published Feb 4, 2010 in American Profile)

As for me, I recall my days at ICODA as a youth (though I wish I could have stuck around longer to participate in more productions, but I will always treasure the moments I did have - not to mention the photos and friends I keep in touch with via Facebook!)

Funny how this was printed just around when I (finally) discovered a photograph thought to be lost - but now found! This photograph of me (at age 2) taken with Marlee Matlin in 1988 at an event at Harper College (in Illinois).
