SymbolBank complete for 2002!

[Stefan Woehrmann2]

Hi Valerie and List members,

today we started our holidays - two weeks school off -

I told my students about your work and described your efforts to get all
these thousands gifs into the SignBank program -

Hm - they reacted in a very emotional way. I was impressed !

In the end we tried to express our gratefullness with a specific sign that
has become very meaningfull to most of us. Well - we are far away from a
standard that would allow us to participate in Stanleys performance - but we
did our best - our way !!

Good luck to all of you

Stefan ;-)
