[Sca-cooks] Deaf, was Russian (was Re: Accidental french) - OT

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

most deaf kids were shunted into "manual labor".. and especially into the
printing trades, as the noise wasnt an issue.
a lot of them also went into shoe repair......

so how many deaf, friends of deaf, grew up around deaf, or know sign
language types are ON this list anyway?
