SignWriting List
August 1, 2002

I hope this message gets through to the List. I am sorry that all
these double messages are being posted. I hope Paul Cowley helps us
soon!

Regarding the DAC, although the DAC was historically important, and
may re-group again and be very important in the future, the important
point is that Cecilia Flood and a growing group of teachers in the
Albuquerque Public Schools are using SignWriting daily with their
Deaf students. A new teacher just called me yesterday and wants to
use it officially in her classroom...they have heard of the success
in Albuquerque and want to try it...

I don't want SignWriting to be my baby...It is time for it to grow up
and leave home!! I hope the children who use SignWriting on a daily
basis (and there are hundreds if not thousands), will carry it with
them into their adulthood -

Val ;-)
