thanks for all your greets
AD seems to be a good place to be.
@flyfishfemme: I asked my grandmother if my grandfather's friend was still alive, but he died in the early 1980s. But I might see if any of his family are still around....hmmm....good idea.
I was at a conference this week, and a girl there suggested that I interview my grandmother and record her life story...maybe if this other guy's family were still around I could do the same.
For Australia's bicentenary, in 1988, a group of older Deaf Australians were interviewed and videoed. Each video has each person talking about their lives, based around a particular theme, such as early childhood, family, work, school and so on. Really interesting stuff, though much of it is signed way too fast for me to comprehend!
