They range from Arizona to Florida.
Lottie
Grisham is at the University of Arizona. She writes: I am doing
an emphasis in Educational Interpreting. I will start ASL 5, a voicing
class, and some others. I am sooooo excited about this. It
seems as though everything is starting to fall into place. I have
had so many opportunities here. I am working in a first grade class
as an interpreter. I am also working at a group home for the Deaf
with Deaf adults that have cognitive disabilities. I am a really
busy person these days. I have also started making friends with the
people in the Deaf Community here.

Griffin is in Silver Spring Colorado. She writes: Things
are great here. I am working a lot for the Sign Language Network.
