Did you go to the Clark School for the Deaf in Massachusetts? I lived and worked in Boston, where I taught DanceWriting in the Dance Department of the Boston Conservatory of Music from 1976-1979. I remember hearing about the Clark School for the Deaf at that time. I remember the sign for Clark was a C-handshape with the other hand moving up and down inside the C, to show the tongue wagging inside the mouth. Clark School for the Deaf was an oral school, and ASL was forbidden. I had SignWriting at that time, but did not know how to establish it in the USA, and Clark School, of course, was not interested!
