This is a uniquely American and Canadian holiday, although Canada celebrates in October I believe. We are celebrating Thanksgiving a day early, tomorrow, so that our friends can attend our party and other people's parties the next day - smile - so I am cooking for 10 people tomorrow - it will be fun and wish you all could be with us!</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>---------</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 22, 2011, at 10:11 AM, Bill Reese wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

Thank you for asking how the Expo was. I did enjoy it. With the
help of some audiology students from USF, a local university, we set
up a tent gazebo with 4 tables under it. The SignPuddle table was
on one side and I was able to demonstrate it to a few people. One
born deaf man was confused at first. I explained the symbols to him
and his face lit up when it suddenly made sense for him and he could
recognize the ASL words. That was really worth it.<br>
