That would be nice. Too bad the manuscript was never finished...I
videotaped Kevin telling the story in ASL late at night one night
years ago...I can't remember when...It was a poor quality vhs tape. I
then had to make it grainy looking on the web, because the quality of
the original tape was so poor...and then I never finished the
transcription...and now I don't even remember where the old vhs tape
is, to finish it, plus a lot of other people are waiting for me to
finish their work...so I would not have time to do the transcription
right now anyway...so what you see is what you get, on the web...

Contacting Kevin, would be fine, but Kevin did not do the SignWriting
in this case...he has done other great documents in SignWriting, but
not that one...I am not sure if he ever even saw that posting...You
can read more about Kevin on the web:

So I guess you are going to have to live with what we have!

ASL signers on the Ilst...do you have any ASL documents for
Kimberley?...
