Those who knew Barry Strassler knows Barry often saw trends before we could understand it. In 1978, Barry was involved with DEAFNET designed by SRI International for community testing by the US federal HEW introducing Deaf people to benefits of electronic mail. That was 7 years before America Online (AOL) started.

Barry loved stories about Deaf people and the Deaf community. He was also very involved in scouting and encouraging Deaf mainstreamed high school students to excel in sports. In tribute of Barry Strassler, DeafDigest is going international as part of the H3 World TV family, an international Deaf media organization based in Toronto, Canada.
