Yes, Frank! It was because of Britta, that I knew Mary Brennan.  
Britta's first husband, an interpreter in Scotland and England,  
worked with Mary at the time I presented at Mary's lab in Scotland...

Do you know Britta Hansen, Frank?

Britta Hansen had a profound influence on SignWriting. Britta was the  
director of the Deaf Center for Total Kommunikation in Copenhagen and  
was the person who invited me to teach SignWriting to the teachers  
and was one of those who decided to use SignWriting in the Danish  
School System...That was back in 1982...

you can read about Britta on the above web page...Here is a photo of  
me with Britta. I am teaching SignWriting on the left, and Britta  
interpreted for me, standing to the right...great memory! We made the  
front page of the local Deaf magazine, Dove Bladet ;-))
