I started this article after seeing the name on the List of people known as father or mother of something, and recognised the name from a portrait in the entrance hall of the school for deaf children attached to the teaching hospital where I do clinical sessions, in Cape Town, South Africa. The school is a symbol of the life work of a pioneeer in the management of deaf children in my country, and the association clearly indicates to me that Carhart was a person that WP should have something about. Unfortunately I could access only the one citation tonight, and am unable to assess the importance of Carhart's work from my limited expertise, but hopefully some "audiologically less educated challenged" wikipedians can fill in more. --Seejyb 01:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Ho, that was a late night mistake.. Less educated was definitely not intended :) --Seejyb 21:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Expatriate in Mexico

edit

Carhart was born in Mexico. Thus he was in Mexico. He was either an American expatriate there, or he was a Mexican emigrant to the US. It looks like the former is more likely.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:58, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Raymond T. Carhart's parents, Raymond Albert Carhart and Edith Noble Carhart, were US-born missionaries who moved to Mexico City as part of their Christian missionary work. Raymond T. was born and raised in Mexico City until he was a teenager. At 16, he traveled to the U.S., first to the midwest and later to stay with family in Los Angeles. I can't say for sure if either expatriate or emigrant applies to him. But now that you have more context, feel free to adjust your description of him. My source: Raymond T.
