I see Goldie on Monday evenings when I take the sign language lab and on Wednesdays evenings when I take class so not sure about running around on the soccer field. I love that dog and have told Peter many times I want her! I love that I can even practice sign language with her...I tried...

St. Rita! HEY, I am taking sign language classes at St. Rita!! I love the school and have met many, many wonderful people there: Joyce Babel, her daughter Beth Powers, Charlene Walker, Peter Keller (and his dog Goldie)...

I am hearing and I came here to learn. As with any other culture--whether the Deaf culture, or black culture, or male culture--being open minded, tolerant and respectful are the keys. All cultures have so much to learn and share if it is done with love. So many people lash out because of...

My ex-husband and I did not share a common belief. The man I have begun dating is Christian like I am. The day after our date we met at church for the interpreted celebration. It meant a lot to me to share that with him. I think whether or not religion/beliefs play a part in a relationship...
