I can agree with it to an extent and believe my message to you pointed out some of the problems tah would encountered. However, the one thing I am sure a project like yours would do is bring attention to the needs of the deaf. It might actually result in a genuine program that trains EMS people to be proficient signers. I keep bumping into medical personnel who sign fairly well. I even trained a few at the local community college where I teachpart time. I guess I will always be one of thos people who believe every little bit helps. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!300!14!James.Womack Internet: James.Womack@f14.n300.z1.fidonet.org
