HI,
First of all my name is Clayton Montgomery.  I've read through most of
the messages in this Net. area and was wondering who to talk to and
your message to which I am replying made me decide to "pick" on you. 
You see I'm a Jr. in highschool and have recently met some of the deaf
kids a school and church.  Some of them can talk with me just great but
some of them just can't read my lips so I want to learn to sign but
didn't know which way would be best and what way to learn it would be
better for a hearing person.  So I'm asking you.  Do you think a
hearing person should learn ASL for standard everyday talk or would
another be more appropriate?  Should I just get a book on signing, ask
someone to teach me, or take a class at a local college?  Well thinks
for your time and if you could get back to me I would be very greatful.
   
Signed,
Clayton Montgomery
