I've enjoyed reading this forum on various topics.

I currently live in California, but I grew up in Oregon & Washington State. Attended Hosford and Kelley Oral School in Portland, Oregon, Baker Junior High School (mainstreamed) in Tacoma, Washington and South Kitsap High School (regular school - no interpreters!) in Port Orchard, Washington.

I didn't learn ASL until I went to RIT/NTID in 1980 - wow, opened my eyes and learned great deal. Much better than trying to lipread, misunderstanding and embarrassment!
