SignWriting Presentation at Gallaudet University - Charles Butler

Fri May 20 19:52:51 UTC 2011

I am so excited that my transliteration of Lucinda Batch's encyclopedia articles 
are part of this presentation. I remembered struggling with shifting 
perspectives from receptive to expressive writing and being able to get a good 
series of articles for the SignWriting community.

Charles Butler
