Hi! Remember your student from New Urban High School in Milwaukie? I just wanted to say hello and let you know how I am doing, it's been awhile, huh? I just recently graduated New Urban on the 4th of June, and now attending summer classes at PCC. I was hoping to get into the interpreters program this year, but I have a few more pre-requisites that I need to get before I can enter into it. It's a drag that I have to waite until next fall to start. But other than school I just got my first job yesterday :] It's at a grocery store right down the street from my new apartment. I just moved Memorial Day weekend, into a very nice apartment in Westmoreland with my boyfriend.

I just got an assignment from a teacher to participate in an activity and I happened to see your name on a "Audism Unveiled: An Examination of Discrimination and Prejudice" and just learned about the organization in my Deaf Studies and I saw it on the internet, and was like, "Hey, I remember that name! The best teacher I ever had!" I really enjoyed your class that you taught me, and I am still interested and anxious to go to WOU. How are you liking it? Every time I get into sign language, the class ends and I start loosing my fluency and memory, I was thinking of volunteering at a deaf school to keep me proficient, is there any schools that you recommend around the portland area? Or is there other ways that would help me in staying active with my ASL?

Thank you for your time to read this, Carl.
