SignWriting List
September 25, 2005

Hello Kathleen and Everyone!
I am so happy with this message, Kathleen...YES! I will be happy to  
look at your document and then I suggest that, with your permission,  
I could go into the Flemish SignPuddle and I can find some other  
signs too, for my diagrams and then we can finalize a wonderful and  
easy way to teach SignWriting spellings...we are on our way to  
finding an excellent solution ;-)

SignWriting is based on little universes all revolving around each  
other and with this visual imagery we should be able to have lovely  
diagrams created to help Deaf children learn to read...

It is Sunday and I am going to be with my parents this  
afternoon...They are so sweet! And I feel so lucky to still have them  
with me ;-)

Later this evening, I will return to work with you here on the SW  
List...

Thank you, Kathleen, for hanging in there with me! And I look forward  
to sharing your wonderful report about the SW Symposium too! You have  
been busy!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Val ;-)
