Letter List

George and Sam have created a way to communicate. It is called "Letter List". George uses a piece of paper with 4 rows of letters. The 1st row contains A-G, the 2nd row contains H-N. The next 2 rows complete the alphabet.

George positions the Letter List so that Sam can see it. George then asks Sam the question, "Does the word start with a letter from the 1st row?". If Sam nods "no", then George asks "Does the word start with a letter from the 2nd row?".

When Sam indicates "yes", George then knows that the letter is listed on a particular row. He can then ask "is the letter H? Is the letter I?" and so forth.

This process quickly identifies the words in Sam's question or statement.

hey Sam - just wanted to post a quick note to tell you that I was thinking about you. I've been missing you downtown at the Vault and the Loft. I just want to tell you to hang in there and have faith.

Sam,
Not sure how to blog, so just an e-mail. Please know that all our prayers are with you all. I have you and especially Sam on the prayer list at school.
Sounds like GOOD things at The Shepherd Center. Bubba Redding told me that 90% of the patients are males under 30. So glad that Sam is in such an amazing place. Please feel free to let us know of anything we can do.

Lots of Love,
Georgia
