Summary "This book attempts to trace the story of the men and women, both deaf and not deaf, who worked and planned so that deaf people should have a caring organisation available to them on leaving school. This is a story of people, who painstakingly built and rebuilt the pieces of the Mosaic we know today as the Adult Deaf Society of Victoria. Some of their work remains visible in buildings and property, but the greater result of their work is to be found in the intanglible attribute left to us as a legacy - caring!" - page iii
