Sunday, September 24, 2023 - World Day of the Deaf

Glenn Curtiss’s sister Rutha lost her hearing as a young child. She attended the Western New York Institute for Deaf Mutes in Rochester, NY then became a teacher there. One of my plans as the new curator of the Curtiss Museum is to tell more of her story.

Happy World Day of the Deaf!

Glenn Curtiss had several very important women in his life: his wife Lena, his mother Lua, his grandmother Ruth, and his sister Rutha. Oddly enough, not much is told about any of them here at the museum or on our website. I plan to change that. I spent today researching these interesting ladies.
