Nice to hear from you Penny...and thank you for this report from Switzerland... Wow...that is so exciting about the translation of the Lessons In SignWriting textbook into German...thanks for all your hard work on that...I know it will be useful to many people...and I can imagine it must be a big job to find the signs from Swiss-German Sign Language for the book.... I want to thank you and your co-workers also, for the German translation of the screen commands in the SignWriter Computer Program...that has been very useful and as you know it is being used in Germany now... Stefan just told me that he will be traveling to Switzerland in February to work with you all - I am glad to know you are giving each other support - it is not easy being the first to use SignWriting in Germany and Switzerland! I will ask Kathy Akehurst to write to you regarding the family with the deaf child in Switzerland.... And thanks again for sharing with us...are you using the SignWriter Computer Program's dictionary feature for your databank? Just curious ;-)) Say hi to beautiful Switzerland for me! Many years ago, I taught DanceWriting in both Basel and Zurich....
