I am slowly learning from a deaf co-worker. I can finger spell slowly. Larry gives us a 15-minute session at our morning meeting. Most of it is work-related words, but we are slowly learning. Thanks goodness he has patience with us. He was born deaf. He does not read lips. We can understand him when he speaks very well. I know it must be frustrating for him because we are so slow. Thank goodness for e-mail and instant messenger!
