Awesome pictures! Glad to see my cousin Eddy is doing well :)

Also, can you follow up my recent vlog? I need some comment from anybody who teach ASL class. I need their feedback.

Great!

Glad you shared this to gain my knowledge about what's like to be in ASLTA workshops.

Nice background.

It was good to see a picture of Eddie Laird. It was in 1970s when I last saw him at GU. Tempus fugit! Thanks for sharing.

I have a question to ask you. Since Hood College is in Frederick, I am curious to know if any Hood College graduate is teaching at Maryland School. In my time, there was no teacher at MSD from Hood.

Hi David. Thanks so much for summing up your trip to the conference. Hopefully the next one won't be too far away from California. I couldn't take time off from work this time. But, glad it was a success!

On a bad note, I got word that someone I knew died in a motorcycle crash while attending the ASLTA Conference in Tampa. It was a horrible news for us here in Southern California. :-(

Jean,
I do not know of anyone that is from Hood and teaches at MSD. in fact Dr. Denton did offer Hood to set up Deaf Ed program but they were not interested so he went and contacted Western Md College(now McDaniel).

Jaymine,
Devin Barnes got involved in a scooter accident while he was doing ASL Expo in Fla few weeks before ASLTA....he was in coma and later died during same weekend as ASLTA
