The mission of CID is to teach children who are deaf and hard

of hearing to listen, talk, read and succeed. We partner with families and collaborate with

universities, educators and other professionals worldwide to help children communicate

to achieve their fullest potential.

On the day Ivy left her birth hospital, her parents, SooYeon and Jared, received a paper recommend-ing they bring their baby back for a second hearing screening. She had arrived prematurely and did not pass the first one. Two and a half months later, testing confirmed profound hearing loss in both ears.

“At first, I didn’t believe it,” SooYeon said. “I had no reaction — like I couldn’t trust what I was hearing. Then, driving home from the hospital, I called Jared’s mom to tell her — and just cried the whole time.”

The family requested early inter-vention services through Illinois Child and Family Connections, for which CID is a provider. A Joanne Parrish Knight Family Center parent educator began visiting regularly to help them work with Ivy at home. Shortly after the diagnosis, they toured CID, met students and staff and fell in love.

At 13 months, Ivy received cochlear implants. They knew she would enroll in the CID nursery class at age 2. The wait was difficult. Ivy was a quiet child with few words. Her parents worked with her, but she remained nearly silent for six months.

Bob Clark praised Robin Feder’s leadership

and announced a named endowed fund.

Surprise honorAt the CID Ultimate Birthday Bash last April, the board surprised executive director Robin Feder with a gift she’ll never forget. With Centennial Campaign co-chairs Laurie Haffenreffer and Gene Toombs, honorary chair Bob Clark announced the establishment of an endowed scholarship fund in her name for more than $400,000.

They also presented her with a gold and diamond CID lapel pin from the board to recognize her more than 40 years of service.

out a cue. By the time she turned 4, the family noticed a dramatic trans- formation. “All of a sudden, it clicked with her,” Jared said. “Ivy started say- ing and especially understanding much more,” SooYeon said. “It became fun to do things with her at home.”

Just before Ian was born, the family had planned to move to Bahrain for Jared’s job, but the second diagnosis was a “game changer.”

It was overwhelming to take care of three babies, especially with two of them needing a lot of extra care,” SooYeon said. “So we wanted to move closer to one of our families.” They looked carefully at schools in Jared’s home state, Maine, and SooYeon’s home country, South Korea, but found other programs lacking. “No place is better than CID,” SooYeon said. “Now I guess we’re stuck here!”

With both children doing so well, the family wouldn’t have it any other way.

“

At CID, Ivy was different. “On her very first day, she began to say new words!” SooYeon exclaimed.

The family’s third child, Ian, was born around the time Ivy was preparing for her cochlear implant surgery. SooYeon set her cell phone ring tone to its max- imum volume and placed it near her newborn’s ear. When he didn’t respond to the sound, she knew he was deaf, too. Later testing confirmed it.

Ian also had cochlear implant surgery at age 1, and joined the nursery class at age 2. Immediately, his speech-language therapist at CID suspected he was not hearing as well as he could. His audiologists remapped his coch- lear implants. After some time, the words started coming. At age 3, Ian joined his sister in the CID preschool.

Ivy worked hard during her speech sessions, but progress was slow. At the end of her first semester, she was still unable to add a word to a two-word phrase like “I want … [orange]” with-

So much to remember, so much to share…

CID has helped countless children in its first 100 years. Due to the increasing need for our expertise, we’re growing stronger every day — a testament to the vision of our founder, Dr. Max Goldstein.

In this issue of sound effects, we review an amazing centennial year, attempting to express our appreciation to all of the alumni, donors, volunteers and staff who worked so hard to bring us all together for a very special time to celebrate Dr. Goldstein’s legacy

and our children’s future. The events were unforgettable and the students were awesome. We took pictures to share with those who could not be with us. You can find more at https://www.flickr.com/cidstl.

Last fall, we publicly announced our “Making Conversations Happen” fundraising campaign for the future

of CID, led by CID board members Laurie Haffenreffer and Gene Toombs. Thanks to generous leadership gifts, at that time we were well over halfway to the goal of $25 million to capitalize on opportunities to give many more children the opportunity to listen, talk, read and succeed. Today, I’m pleased to report the campaign has passed $20.5 million. In the coming months, I hope you’ll join us to ensure a bright and expansive future for children at CID and around the world.

To learn more about our campaign goals, visit www.cid.edu and click on the middle image at the top, “Making Conversations Happen.”

Over the past year, a lot has happened at CID. In this issue, we focus on both celebration and loss. Please join us in an overdue tribute to some very dear friends of CID who passed away since we last reported. These individuals continue to live in our hearts — and through the lives and conversations of many generations of children to come.

Happy New Century of CID — and thank you all for your support.

– Robin Feder, Executive Director of CID

On behalf of CID, executive director Robin Feder recently

accepted a Variety The Children’s Charity of St. Louis Stellar

Performance Award for outstanding impact from the use of new audiology

equipment. The new equipment enables CID audiologists to measure auditory brainstem

responses in the youngest children we serve, streamlining services to

families. Ann Warren presented the award on Variety’s behalf.

CORRECTION: In an earlier issue of sound effects, we inadvertently misreported the position of 1956 CID school alumnus T. Alan Hurwitz, EdD in an article about an

award he received from his alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Hurwitz is the president of Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. Prior to this appointment, he served as president of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in Rochester, NY. We apologize for not properly updating our text. Dr. Hurwitz is also a past president of the National Association of the Deaf and the World Organization of Jewish Deaf. He lectures extensively and has been widely published.

Join us on May 9 at The Ritz-Carlton St. Louis for another uniquely fabulous

gala to benefit the CID school children. Save the date and

Students and staff formed 100 on the lawn.Rachel and John dedicated the Arenberg Centennial Garden.

In March, as a partner helping celebrate the heritage of the City of St. Louis, CID took delivery of an oversized, artfully decorated STL250/CID birthday cake. Many residents visited during the city’s (and our) major anniversary year as part of a citywide cake hunt.

In April, more than 480 guests celebrated in style at the CID Ultimate Birthday Bash. We’re so fortunate to have a generous community that has invested in helping children reach their potential for 100 years. The children performed “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and, thanks to FleishmanHillard, we premiered an amazing centennial video,

“The Child First,” featuring never before seen historical and contemporary footage.

In May, we opened “Listen St. Louis: 100 Years of CID,” a history exhibit in the campus lobby, to the public. Over the months, the exhibit received many curious visitors. Soon, its components will be

At its December 2014 holiday meeting, the CID board of directors welcomed Scott Monette as its new president. Monette is the founder of 100 Percent Wine. He is the father of 2008 CID graduate Matthew Monette, who inspired him to

create his charitable business to help children with special needs.

The CID board also gratefully honored the leadership of Ned Lemkemeier, who stepped down after serving two terms as president. They noted a milestone for board secretary Laurie Miller, who surpassed 25 years of service and became a Life Member. Miller is the great granddaughter of CID founder Max Goldstein.

installed throughout the CID school. After that happens, anyone can view them during a scheduled visit.

In July, guests packed the hall for the CID Centennial Lecture, “Hearing Loss and Music: The World of Sound Beyond Language,” by Dr. Charles Limb of The Johns Hopkins University. The event was held in conjunction with STL250 and the MARC-MANS conference hosted by Washington University School of Medicine.

In September, just in time to read a feature story about CID in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, CID staff joined about 500 alumni, former staff, parents and friends from 24 states for the “Making Conversa- tions Happen” Centennial Weekend.

Everyone caught up during a happy hour at the Moonrise hotel rooftop, Saturday school and history exhibit tours, an evening in Wonderland at the Contemporary Art

Museum, and a fun 5K+BBQ on a crisp Sunday morning in Forest Park. It was a celebration weekend we will never forget. Thank you to the CIDAA and to all of the chairpeople, sponsors, volunteers, staff and friends.

CID’s actual 100th birthday, September 23, 2014, was a beautiful day. We had a children’s birthday party featuring candy and cake with students, families and staff. We accepted the generous gift of a beautiful Centennial Garden with wind sculptures from the Arenberg family, and a touching speech by CID alumnus John Arenberg.* We buried a time capsule, formed a human 100 on the lawn and even made the 5 o’clock news!

* John, former sports information director at Emory University, expressed appreciation for the strong foundation he received at CID. He asked the students to also give thanks to their teachers as a birthday gift to CID.

Ralph Kalish Ralph William Kalish, Jr., of St. Louis, MO, died suddenly in May 2014 while biking near the Chain of Rocks Bridge trail. He was 63. Mr. Kalish was a member and past president (2009–2011) of the CID board of directors. He was the great grand-nephew by marriage of CID founder Max Goldstein (also second cousin to current CID board member Laurie Miller, Dr. Goldstein’s great granddaughter).His affiliation was lifelong. He used to proudly say he received speech therapy at CID as a child.

Mr. Kalish joined the CID board in 2001. He and his wife, Eleanor Withers, have been longtime, gen-erous CID Sponsors. At the time of his passing, he was a vice president of the board. He also served on the Centennial Campaign Cabinet as well as the executive, governance and

nominating committees, in addition to chairing the strategic planning committee. His involvement included serving as a mentor for new board members.

“Ralph was a visionary, but he was willing to get involved at the ground level, too,” CID executive director Robin Feder said. “He once traveled with two staff members to a school district in rural Missouri to better understand the needs for serving deaf and hard of hearing children in that community. He worked closely with staff to write our intellectual property policies and to copyright our curricula and assessment tools for professionals. He was passionate about CID. We were fortunate to benefit for so many years from his commitment and generosity.

“He was a dear friend and is dearly missed.”

Mr. Kalish, a patent attorney with Husch Blackwell in St. Louis, was also a talented local playwright and celebrity. He belonged to the Library Associates of Saint Louis University, a group that produces theatrical biographies and one-man shows featuring famous St. Louisans.

In 2006, he portrayed James Eads, the engineer of the local Missis- sippi River Eads Bridge. In 2011, he portrayed Branch Rickey, the St. Louis Cardinals baseball manager who broke the color barrier by bringing Jackie Robinson to the major leagues.

David PascoeDavid Pedro Pascoe, PhD, of Webster Groves, MO, passed away in August 2014. Dr. Pascoe’s gentle spirit touched many lives. He was a dedicated educator who worked all his life to help train teachers and develop testing methods for children and adults with hearing loss.

In 1955, then-Mr. Pascoe stopped at CID to ask advice about how to help two deaf children he had met on the streets of Mexico. CID’s second director, S. Richard Silverman, PhD, convinced him to stay in St. Louis and enroll in CID’s professional education program.

After earning his master’s in speech and hearing from CID/Washington University, he served for 11 years as director in a Venezuelan school for the deaf. He is credited for developing public auditory-oral education in that country.

He returned to CID in 1968 to earn his PhD in audiology. He later became coordinator of audiology services and training. As a clinical scientist at CID (1969–1989), Dr. Pascoe conducted research on hearing evaluation and hearing aid fitting, publishing scientific papers and two books. Upon his retirement, he traveled to Spanish-speaking countries to share his knowledge.

Dr. Pascoe was first to demonstrate the value of evaluating hearing aids while worn. He also contributed seminal work on loudness discomfort levels. The discovery that high-frequency sounds must be amplified to understand speech was among many that came from his work. In 1996, his colleagues lauded his thinking on selective amplification as “the genesis of today’s fitting strategies,” as well as the basis for fundamental digital hearing aid algorithms.

In the 1970s, George Packwood, Jr., a wealthy CID clinic client, challenged Drs. David Pascoe (left) and Arthur Niemoller (right) to make him custom hearing aids with better sound. Their binaural eyeglasses incorporated radical strategies that changed hearing aids and fitting strategies forever.

Mr. Packwood liked the hearing aids, but reportedly said: “Now make them smaller!” And they did.

We are sad to report the passing of some cherished friends and loved ones who will be missed by many.

We recently learned that Rae Calvert of Sacramento, CA, passed away (date unknown). Mrs. Calvert, a former CID teacher (1949–1954), was the wife of the late Donald Calvert (CID’s director, 1972–1989).

In October 2014, Christopher Davidson of St. Louis, MO, passed away after battling an illness for five years. Mr. Davidson was the husband of former CID teacher Anne Davidson and son-in-law of CID board member Joanne Knight.

Albert M. Melman, 90, of St. Louis, MO, passed away in September 2014. Mr. Melman was the husband of former (1950s) CID teacher Joy Melman (65 years married) and the father of CID executive director Robin Feder. Mr. and Mrs. Melman have been longtime CID Sponsors and supported the school through the Ultimate Picnic.

Tucker Calkins, 43, of Los Angeles, CA, passed away in July 2014. Mr. Calkins was the son and stepson of CID board members Anabeth and John Weil.

In July 2014, 1959 CID alumna Kathryne McGuigan Sheldon, 70, of St. Louis, MO, passed away after a long illness. Mrs. Sheldon was the

wife of CID board member/1954 alumnus William Bixby Sheldon (41 years married) and the aunt of CID board member Frank Childress. She earned her master of fine arts degree at Instituto Allende in Mexico, taught art at CID (1975–1980) and Metropoli-

tan School and worked for 18 years at the St. Louis Riverfront Times. She was a past president of the CID Alumni Association.

1934 CID alumna Eleanor Smith Coates, 89, of Oklahoma City, OK, passed away in June 2014. Mrs. Coates attended CID from age 5 to age 12. In 1946, she earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Grinnell College in Iowa. She worked as a medical technician at Fifth Army Laboratories before marrying former CID classmate Carl Coates in 1947. She was a homemaker, voluntary civic worker and treasurer of Daughters of the American Revolution. She also wrote a book, I Won’t Stay Silent.

1935 CID alumnus Carl Coates, 90, of Oklahoma City, OK, passed away in April 2014, preceding his wife Eleanor by two months. Mr. Coates was a printer for the Ponca City News. Mr. and Mrs. Coates actively promoted the Dogs for the Deaf program — by helping local residents establish partnerships with their dogs and demonstrating how Hearing Dogs assist people who are deaf. The Coates’ sons, Victor and Dick, said CID enabled their parents to live full, productive lives in the hearing world. “Many people who were deaf we knew growing up did not have that opportunity,” Dick said. The family has asked that memorial donations be made to the CID Coates-Smith Endowed School Fund.

1942 CID alumna Gloria Killian Basta, 87, of Saint Ann, MO, passed away in April 2014. Mrs. Basta was active in the CID Alumni Association, and chaired CIDAA’s 50th Anniversary reunion in June 1991. She was a member of the St. Louis Bell Club and the Greater St. Louis Association of the Deaf.

Mary Lou Koelkebeck, 92, of Hermann, MO, a longtime CID teacher (1954 –1984) and former CID dean of students, died

in February 2014. Mrs. Koelkebeck was co-author, with Colleen Detjen and former CID director Dr. Donald Calvert, of the book, Historic Devices for Hearing, which catalogued and annotated CID founder Max Goldstein’s (and CID’s) collections of hearing devices, brochures and advertisements.

Barbara Berghoff, 66, of Lady Lake, FL, died suddenly in October 2013. Mrs. Berghoff was the grandmother of 2011 alumna Kennedy Berghoff. She said she loved CID and was thrilled with the education Kennedy received here. Kennedy and her father, Kevin, personally visited CID to deliver the donations collected at “Grammy Barb’s” memorial service.

In October 2013, Mary Ann Ceriotti, 65, of San Francisco, CA, passed away. She was a CID teacher for 10 years, from 1953 to 1963.

Susan Ehmsen, 74, of Moline, IL, passed away in September 2013. She was the mother of 1975 CID alumna Penny Sullivan.

In July 2013, Shawn Paxton, 39, of Saint Ann, MO, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Mr. Paxton was the father of 2014 CID alumna Enya Oliver.

“ The Child First” video features never-before-shown historical footage of Max Goldstein and CID. Find it at cid.edu.Virginia J. Browning Primary School

Last fall, when CID board member Virginia Browning became a lead donor in “Making Conversations Happen,” CID’s Centennial Campaign, she named the CID Primary School. Mrs. Browning is a longtime enthusiastic friend of the children. Her generous gift will go a long way toward helping them gain a solid educational foundation.

If you would like to see a list of naming opportunities for participants in the Centennial Campaign, please contact Ann Holmes at aholmes@cid.edu.
