I thank Dr. Conama. It is to my eternal shame that I do not have sign language. My father had it, having learned it from his neighbour John O'Keeffe in the 1940s. Watching Dr. Conama speak, I can see the language in which my father and John O'Keeffe used to converse. I did not take the time to learn it, which is a source of eternal shame for me.
