1970s KTUL sign-off: Indian sign language


Dick West’s “Lord’s Prayer” sign language from Channel 8’s nightly signoff in the 1970s. (from Guestbook 25) Christopher said: I was reading in the first guestbook, and noticed a comment about Dick West’s Indian Sign Language. It was at the end of Channel 8’s day.
