Lee, that's wonderful that the university in your area accepts ASL
as a foreign language. Itis finally getting the respect it should.
Too bad that respect does not come from where it would count the most,
namely educational programs for the deaf.

Now I think the next logical step is to givethose wonderful interpreters
the professional respect they deserve. Raise their salaries, give them
benefits, treat them with professional courtesy and decency!

That's really nice, Lee. It will spread even more.
