Now 70+, retired, living near Preston, TX, near Lake Texoma (TX-OK border). I have two adopted children (now 38 & 42). The daughter, 42, has been raised using SEE1, so English is her primary language. She was born totally deaf from German Measles. She has two college degrees and has an English acumen above the post graduate level. She is fluent in both SEE1 and ASL. My son, 38, was born hearing but lost most of it with a bout of Spinal Meningitis before his second birthday. He, also, was born with Fetal Alcohol Effect. Both my wife and I are (were) fluent in SEE1 and both have served as staff transliterators at a major graduate school in Texas. Both of us are now retired. Sadly, without the children around, I am not as skilled as one I was. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have at "hammond_ham@juno.com". HH
