Valerie, Tini and the list,

Sounds like we have the makings of a 'child centered' documentary written in
SignWriting about an Historical event that has changed the world and all of
us who live on it. I suggest we keep collecting these illustrations and the
written comments and make a 'book' and then send it to the Library of
Congress.

Thank you Tini for those drawings and notes introducing your students to our
students. I'll give the two sent to Julio to him tomorrow. Expect a
reply....probably not only from Julio but from his 'peers' as well.

Cecilia
