I'm still looking for the negative - close to finding it. Dona (tilde on the n which I don't know how to do) was the only member of the Chorti Maya village who could still speak the original Chorti Maya language. She said the kids were not interested in learning and when she died two years ago, the language died with her. Here she is explaining to Dr. Frank Strait that she has problems breathing. She had severe osteo-arthritis and was very stooped and tiny. She's about 3'4" and Dr. Strait is about 6'4". I have another photo of her with an even taller doctor that I'll try to find. I like their eye-contact and obvious communication in spite of the fact that they do not speak each other's languages. C&C greatly appreciated. Tina -- Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
