[sw-l] Gallaudet using SignBank?...smile

[Stuart Thiessen]

Though I have not had the opportunity to attend Galluadet (but I have
visited it several times), several deaf here who are interested in SW
are alumni. We can write up several letters of support as well from
Iowans ... in English and ASL. :) Why not?  Then he can see they are
using it AND support it. :)

Thanks,

Stuart
