SignWriting List January 27, 2002 Hello Shannon! Thank you for sharing your classroom experience with us. I appreciate your message... It sounds like your course at UCSD (University California at San Diego) is going well ;-) This made me think of Joe Martin, who worked so hard on his paper comparing SignWriting and the Stokoe system: A Linguistic Comparison: SignWriting and Stokoe Notation by Joe Martin https://www.SignWriting.org/forums/linguistics/ling008.html Joe attended Gallaudet last year, and since then, I have not heard from him...Does anyone know how to contact Joe? His old email addresses do not seem to work for me...Joe...if you are reading this, please write - Hope you are doing well?...
