   Aristotle was searching for a man who could study for the sake of studying, who saw learning as an end in itself and who could inspire others with his thoughts.
   In my friend, Gabe, Aristotle would have establish his guy. A right Renaissance man who started his University curriculum as a Roman Catholic Divinity student, he enjoys and amazingly varied schedule of diverse careers, lifelong passions and seems to know every additional person on the Planet.
   As the hearing son of deaf parents, he learned how to sign before he could speak and once he learned how to speak, he has never stopped talking or making a buzz in dozens of different areas of his many-faceted life. Thousands of his students in his New School University classes can attest to his formidable, yet playful intellect, charismatic teaching abilities and amusing sense of humor. Gabe’s intuitive insights and interviewing skills have elicited and illuminated the thoughts and feelings of hundreds of New School Roundtable and special courses guests, ranging from Muhammad dAli to Julia Roberts to Marcel Marceau.
   As the principal court-appointed dactylogist of the NYC judicial system, judges, attorneys, physicians, and psychologists appreciate his clear, hint-filled interpreting skills. Gabe has performed at the White House, United Nations, on Broadway, at Colleges throughout the US featuring his award-winning show “Reality or Illusion…Mind Over Magic?” Gabe’s wonderful motivational magic show as the “Incredible Doctor Can-Do” is a delight for both hearing and deaf children.
   Gabe’s been a host and guest of hundreds of national and local radio and TV shows. He was executive consultant of the Emmy-nominated ABC Afterschool Special “Mom and Dad Can’t Hear Me”. He the chief sign language tour docent at the American Museum of Natural History.
   Brevity is the soul of Life and Human Life is, or should be, an adventure in self-discovery, learning what talents one has and using them to their fullest. Gabe figured this out early in life. He continues to inspire all of us to take the fantastic leap in personal evolution to “Have fun, to do excellent and to be pleased”. I am proud to count Gabriel as my dearest friend.

   This book was shipped quick and worth every penny. The quality was brilliant – it was groundbreaking new. I had looked at buying the same book at Barnes and Noble the week prior and when I received this one, I couldn’t tell the difference (additional then about $11). Excellent buy

   We are using this book as a text book in our home school sign language class. My daughter is 15 and is having no difficulty understanding or learning the language. The pictures and descriptive text make it very friendly to use. The informative articles and history are a bonus to the learning and understanding process.
   
   I reviewed several books on several additional sites and establish this one to be the best suited for our needs. As a side note we also have a family tree members who is loosing their hearing so this will also be useful in a perosnal way. We wound recomend this product for additional families.
