SW at Gallaudet, and the NAD Conference ;-)

[Kimberley A. Shaw]

More power to all you lucky ducks who are going to the NAD conference
(despite those brutal temperatures)! So wonderful, Val, that your parents
will be there as well.
Yes, I have seen those notepads and plan to buy some for myself; they look
great.
Maybe if I run around campus using them there, that will scare some of the
Gallaudet SignWriters out of the woodwork ...
Am looking forward to all the post-NAD things I know people will be
posting.
Best,
Kim from Boston
