I was at the OhSoEasy website where a link to one of your videos was posted. I clicked on it. Thought you looked a little familiar, then noticed your name was Toby. I thought…”Hmmm, could it be the same Toby we knew at China Lake a million years ago?” The more I read, the more I was pretty sure it was You.
So do you remember me? I was one of the interpreters. Maybe you remember Matthew, too. He was a Deaf employee.
Anyway, good to be in touch again. Sounds like you’re having a good life and are very successful! So glad to know you’ve studied ASL in depth and that you’re teaching it at the college level. There needs to be more Deaf ASL instructors!!
Love your videos. It’s always a pleasure to just watch someone Deaf using ASL. I just let the ASL soak into my brain. Thanks!

Did you work at China Lake, CA, when you were in high school?

Hi Jeanie,
Yes, I did in summer 1987 between my junior and senior year.
