ASL is a GIft translated by Deanne Bray

"ASL is a Gift" is a poem written by Julie Rems-Smario and translated by Deanne Bray. Final revision of ASL translation on September 21, 2012. It was June 2012 when Wayne Betts gave one small suggestion in adding something to ASL. He signed SI5S. I expanded on that idea and made this version into the translation that I am fully content and will stick to this. Here is my ASL translation of ASL is a GIFT in American Sign Language. Happy Autumn!
