Thank you very much for sending your presentation description and your PowerPoint presentation.  Congratulations on being the first presenters to submit materials!  I've looked at the two files quickly and they look great.  Maybe you were intending to provide what I am suggesting below but I will mention a couple of things while they are on my mind:

1. Are you planning to provide us with a hard copy of your article Hurwitz and Hurwitz (2001), "Role of the parent in education of the deaf child"?  If so, we will scan it and make a pdf file that conference participants can access on line.

2. I have a suggestion regarding the list of organizations that you provide as resources in your PowerPoint file.  I think we should list those organizations under resources in your presentation description file as hyperlinks to the organizations' web pages.  All description files will be available to conference participants online and will remain on the PEN web site.  A participant would simply click any of those links and be taken to the organizations' web sites.  If that is acceptable to you, I will ask Bill to have someone get all the URLs and set up the links within your description file.

Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf
American Society for Deaf Children
Boys Town National Research Hospital Center for Childhood Deafness
House Ear Institute
John Tracy Clinic
Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center/Gallaudet University
National Association of the Deaf
National Cued Speech Association
National Technical Institute for the Deaf

Thank you very much for sending your files.

Hi Jerry,

Here are the materials you requested:  the Hurwitz presentation description and our Power Point.  Please let me know if you need additional information from us.  We should have our paper ready by the time of the conference. 

I look forward to hearing from Bill about our equipment requests for our presentation.

Alan
