Hi Dan. Cheers back to you.

We have three native Korean KSL signers (2 Deaf, 1 hearing--married to one
of the Deaf) in the BYU area. There are also a few former LDS (Mormon)
missionaries who learned KSL in Korea during their two-year service and
have either been through and gone or are still around. Any "work," is
probably on a personal level. I did get a crash course in KSL from one of
the students; I taught him basic ASL, he taught me basic KSL.

Susan (Fischer), you may e-mail me privately if you wish more details.
