Hi Valerie, Tini  and sw-list friends, 

Thank you so much for your kind attention.  I feel honoured 
.  Smile.

The reason for the delay of my answer is that my internet connection did not
work. But now I am online again. 

Stefan ;-)

October 3, 2009

Dear Stefan, and 

SignWriting List Members!

Over the years, Stefan has always been so kind to me, to remember my
birthday. Half the time, I would not even remember my own birthday, but
Stefan always remembered...Thank you for your friendship, Stefan.

Well this year I decided it was high time that I remember Stefan's birthday!

It is my memory that it is October 3rd...today?...I hope I remembered that
correctly?

It is the same day that Germany celebrates its Unification Day (Tag der
Deutschen Einheit).  This day back in 1990 brought a happy and a very
significant event on the world political scene. The symbol of the Cold War -
the Berlin Wall - was torn down, and East Germans could freely face the
world.

Stefan's work is also a part of SignWriting history ... His development of
Mundbildschrift
<http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs2/sw0124-DE-Mundbildschrift.pdf>
(Woehrmann's SpeechWriting), for writing the way the mouth looks while
speaking, has been quite successful in teaching speech and language to his
Deaf students at the Osnabruck School <http://www.gebaerdenschrift.de/>  for
the Deaf. Stefan's textbook, the SignWriting Handbook
<http://www.signwriting.org/germany/> , is purchased in our SignWriting Shop
and there are orders from around the world for his book...For example, just
last week, the Green Technical BookStore in Yokohama, Japan, ordered a copy!

So THANK YOU, Stefan, for your important work with SignWriting and
SpeechWriting...You have contributed to my life, and to our SignWriting List
members lives too, by giving so warmly of your time, giving us all feedback
on writing and caring so much about writing signs properly with
SignWriting...And your SignWriting animation and SignWriting art are simply
magical!

I think your Deaf students are lucky to have such a positive teacher who
really cares...

I am preparing a web posting of your recent meeting and work together with
Eyasu Tamene from Ethiopia...that is coming shortly...I will post a message
to the List about it in the next few days.

But right now, I want to wish you a very happy birthday. Thank you for
everything you do!

My attached birthday card is not nearly as magnificent as your cards that
are created with your digital camera, but here is my attempt to say "Happy
Birthday Stefan!"

I hope you have a wonderful day and celebrate this day, with the rest of
Germany!! ;-)

Val ;-)
