President of Clarke School for the Deaf retires
The president of Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton for the last 25 years is stepping down. Dennis Gjerdingen (gher-DIN'-ghen) announced his resignation yesterday. He is the sixth president since the school's founding nearly 140 years ago. The school teaches hearing impaired children how to communicate without using sign language.
Clarke Board of Trustees chairman Harley Sacks of Wilmington, North Carolina, said in a prepared statement that filling Gjerdingen's shoes will be difficult.
Gjerdingen will be 67 in January. Clarke and its satellite schools serve more than ten-thousand people each year.
