[UUPoly-L] American Sign Language

Hi Johnny,

Welcome to the list! I'm sorry to hear about your wife, Amy. When my daughter was a baby, the doctors were trying to figure out why she was so sick and tested her for CF. It was a frightening time for us and I can't imagine what you and Amy have been through.

I'm located in Portland, OR, but I do know a couple of poly people who are fluent in ASL. He is deaf and his wife is fluent. They are both long time poly people. I can contact them to see if they are okay with my giving you their contact information.

Of course, for long distance, typing works pretty well for communication. ;-) However, it might be nice to connect with other ASL poly folks.

What would you like?
Alisa

Deaf Poly Friends,

I'm looking to platonically socialize outside my busy grad school schedule with other poly folks. I'm fluent in American Sign Language and do not lipread. I am studying at Gallaudet University (see www.gallaudet.edu) majoring in Sign Language Teaching

I've been actively poly for about ten years now. Currently not with anyone and raising a 4 year old son (my wife Amy passed away from a long battle with cystic fibrosis last March 2008). I am on facebook under the name Johnny Schumacher. Let me know if there's any social event I can go on weekends to.
