Yes, congratulations to Stuart and Philippe...it is really an  
important workshop....

Too bad you cannot attend, Kim....

Ha! I forgot about the Deaf American magazine. I assume that is still  
in print?...I haven't seen a Deaf American Magazine in years!

Most people from that era remember receiving the SignWriter Newspaper  
written in SignWriting by hand:

SignWriter Newspaper History
http://signwriting.org/library/history/hist005.html

and they still think the writing looks like it did in those  
newspapers! smile...

Our Deaf team made history with those newspapers...writing articles  
for the first time, directly in their own style of signing ...that  
was pioneering work...and it laid the groundwork for the way we write  
today...
