As an undergraduate in Deaf Education at Northern Illinois University in the early 70's, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. "Myk". I was fortunate enough to have him invite me to be a student reaserch assistant in his Child Study lab at NIU. I have always consider him a mentor who provided me an opportunity to to learn more than what the undergraduate curriculums teach. He extended an invitation to me to follow him to University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) which I turned down so I could pursue my teaching career. He was a pioneer, a visionary, and a mentor.
