Merry Christmas!

[Chris Cox]

Hi Val (and Stefan),

Just in case you are still around in the run up to the festivities, my
apologies to you and Stefan but I have not had the time recently to visit as
much of the available material as I should have done. As you say the visit
to the German site has been another eye opener for me

On the other hand, just before you wrote I did find a wealth of information
about Stefan's many activities on the general Internet so I had already
begun to understand the extent of my most recent gaff :-) 

Can I ask Stefan? can I pass on the card to others with suitable attribution
to its author please? but also it would be nice if I could provide a
translation of the actual message in English please - I think it is a
wonderful advertisement.

Val, thank you so much for so many detailed explanations - I will certainly
provide a snapshot of the intentions of our project early in January and any
progress that we might have achieved by mid/end January.

All the best

Chris

Hello Chris!
Welcome to the SignWriting List.

Perhaps you might tell the SignWriting List about your project? Many  
of our SW List members are signers and signwriters, and so they are  
people who can give you a different perspective....

So feel free to introduce us to the WLDC SW Project...maybe in  
January, 2008? Then we will be able to focus after the holidays.

Now...to answer your questions...

Stefan Woehrmann is a teacher of Deaf students at the Osnabruck School  
for the Deaf in Germany. Have you visited Stefan's web site?

Stefan's Web Site on SignWriting
http://www.gebaerdenschrift.de/

and also visit:

SignWriting in Germany
http://www.signwriting.org/germany/germany.html

I assumed that you had already visited Stefan's site and knew about  
the wonderful work being done in Germany with Deaf children!

ENJOY!

Val ;-)
