Jackie and Percy Hall: 513-518-7131 Jackie and Percy is the proud parents of Kevin Hall who led Ohio State to the Big Ten Championship and became the first Buckeye to earn medalist honors since 1998. He went on to get his PGA TOUR card and another first in the golf world. http://www.pgatour.com/story/9466509/ andhttp://www.pgatour.com/story/9217869/ Jackie and Percy have supported Kevin from the beginning, taking the attitude he should " ... get out there ... get the experience ... do what hearing people do ... so he knows what is coming." They taught him fingerspelling, reading, and counting.His parents emphasized " ... succeed in school ..." At age three Kevin was enrolled in kindergarten at St. Rita School for the Deaf in Cincinnati, and he remained at St. Rita’s until high school graduation. It was at St. Rita’s he learned lipreading and sign language. Kevin was athletically talented, specializing in baseball and bowling. When he was nine, a family friend took him to a golf driving range. It was "love at first sight" for Kevin. Immediately, without any instruction, he was able to swing his club as though he had been playing for years. He was "hooked"! St. Rita didn’t have a golf team so Kevin’s parents successfully petitioned the school board to allow him to play for neighboring Winton Woods High School. There he was a four-year letterman in golf. By the end of his high school career, he was "All-Ohio" and Cincinnati’s top prep golfer. Kevin graduated from St. Rita as valedictorian of his class. He liked Ohio State University’s "golf tradition"; and he was able to qualify for a golf scholarship there, becoming the first African-American and the first hearing-impaired student to achieve that distinction. The love of a son is demonstrated for the world to see by these good folks. Thank you for sharing your heart.. TCF-PCA
