What happened to Darya Folsom?
Darya,
C shift watches you every morning at our fire station. You are the highlight of our day as we respond to various types of emergencies the rest of our day. Thank you for your amazing smile.
Is Darya Folsom divorced? I’ll be interested.
Draya, I think you are the best-looking morning anchor in the bay area.
I have a question about Covis. If a parent with children under the age of 18 will not let them get their Covis shot and they get Covis 19 and pass away will the parent be charged with child abuse, manslaughter murder?
I’m not asking for myself because my child is older than you. This was a question that asked me and I didn’t have an answer.
Take Care
As a person with a significant hearing loss, I have a request for TV anchors and all those appearing on TV. Wear lipstick, a shade contrasting with your skin tone. Men too. And, please keep the facial hair off your lips. Every little bit helps.
Lipreading, or speech reading, is a skill many with hearing loss have, even on a subconscious level. As a group, people with hearing loss struggle to follow speech and interpret sounds. It is exhausting. We are a fairly invisible group, and it is easy to overlook our needs.
The promise of closed captioning on TV has largely failed us. It is far behind the spoken word, leaves off places and persons’ names, is fragmented and inaccurate. Complaints to the FAA have not resolved the issue. Like many issues, this one may best be helped on the ground level.
Thank you for reading this far. Dedicated to my good friend Raegene who has written more letters on this topic than anyone I know.
31st Anniversary of ADA

Many Thanks,
