AW: [sw-l] Private lesson with Val

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
August 17, 2005

Hi Stefan and Nana -
The signs we worked on, are in the Filipino SignPuddle:

http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle/sgn-PH

We worked on several signs, like Genesis, Nana, June, start,  
Philippines, earth etc. They have my name as the source, if I wrote  
them, although Nana may be changing them and my name will disappear  
then, so if you want to see some I guess now is the time!

Val ;-)
