FallinAngel 0 #53 April 1, 2004 Well, I'm not deaf. But I am a sign language interpreter. I jump at Skydive AZ. There are a few deaf skydivers in CA, and one who lives here in AZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #55 April 1, 2004 Don, Did I tell you the story about my last trip to Eloy? I was sitting in the bar, having dinner and drinks. My friend noticed some guys behind me signing. My friend says, "Hey, can you tell what they are talking about." I tell him, "Sure!" Then I watch. I really can't understand them, and I'm thinking, "Wow, I haven't had that much to drink." So I go up to them and start signing, and come to find out, they are from Germany, and are using German Sign Language May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

I am deaf and in love with skydiving! A friend took me for my first tandem on my birthday a year and a half ago. I was so thrilled I had to go again! Since then, I've done 6 more tandems. The whole time my friend and I were talking about going through AFP together with an interpreter, but he's backed out. I'm going for my license anyway! I won't need the interpreter because I can hear pretty well one-on-one with my hearing aids. Anyone know Jen Keys? She helped make my first experience awesome! She was so friendly and knew sign, it helped me feel more comfortable right away! She rocks!

Don't be afraid to ask questions. hve fun.
