SignWriting List
February 28, 2005

It is nice to know I am needed, Tini! and You are doing great... I
certainly hope you know that...I bet a lot of our List members do not
realize that you are a ballet dancer who learned DanceWriting years
ago, when we first met in Copenhagen, Denmark in the 1970's! So jumping
into learning to write Sign Langauge is quite amazing... Val ;-)
