Welcome to the SignWriting List ;-)) It truly is amazing, Tini, that you have continued to use DanceWriting, and now SignWriting, all these years. I can hardly believe it. Was it in 1974, that we met in Copenhagen? I can't remember the year - ha! I remember that you took a DanceWriting Correspondence Course with one of our DanceWriting teachers in Boston, back in the late 1970's...right? You mailed in your assignments to Boston, while you lived in Canada....I felt badly towards you, because I remember we never completed correcting all your wonderful DanceWriting homework assignments, and you deserved more of our attention. I became split between teaching DanceWriting at the Boston Conservatory of Music, and working with SignWriting at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in Rochester, New York in 1979. It was a confusing time - caught between the dance world and the Deaf world - I used to fly back and forth between Boston and Rochester, New York, where NTID is located. So I left your correspondence course in the hands of our trained DanceWriting teachers in Boston, and they became totally overwhelmed with a thousand things to do - Sounds just like our problems today too!! I guess we are still the same!! The only difference is that we now have computers, so we can type by computer as well as write by hand ;-)) So welcome, Tini, and thanks for your very nice greeting card in fingerspelling!! -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org |
