Hello !
I am new to the sign writing list. Its very interesting reading all the different messages.
I had read some info about sign writing about 18 years ago when I had been new to interpreting. I thought it was very interesting but most people in my area wernt too keen on the idea. So I put my old sign writing workbook on the shelf.
Recently I saw info on the net about sign writng and forwarded the info to my friend Julie in Peru. She came back to California for a visit and got the computer program and other "stuff", so now I have become interested in sign writing again. Two years ago my husband and I went to Peru and met many Deaf people and visited the Lima area. We are planning on going again in 2000. Cant wait !!!
I have been involved with Deaf persons and Sign language since I was a teenager, then after graduating from high school went to college for interpreter training--and havent stopped since. I am nationally certified and work as a freelance-private practice (whatever term you want to use) interpreter. I mostly work in medical--mental health settings, some Deaf/Blind and some Oral translating too. For about 18 years I have also done religious interpreting in our congregation.
I am married to a real nice guy named Mike. I have 3 neat step sons too. Got married and had kids the same day !!! One cranky cat and a sweet little beagle dog. We live in a small town in New Hampshire.
Well--guess that is enough for now !
SMILE !
Caroline Davis Hines
