At our August 25th meeting, Leslie Nye, professional Graphoanalyst, will reveal personalities of ancestors we have evidence of but have never met. To make her time with us even more valuable, the first 12 people to send a clear photocopy of a letter or other writing by your ancestor (more than just a signature) to me may learn some very interesting things while she is showing us all how to evaluate handwriting for characteristics. They can be mailed to me at 2035 Eldorado Court, Novato, CA 94947, or scanned and sent to pohakupuu@juno.com . Be sure you send a clear copy. I will forward all on to Leslie Nye for her prior analysis. This is not handwriting analysis as you may have seen or experienced at Fairs. Graphoanalysis is the study of the individual strokes of handwriting in order to determine the personality and character of the writer. Ms Nye has been a Certified Graphoanalyst since 1989 and in 2006 was recognized with the highest award of the International Grapoanalysis Society (IGAS) - Graphoanalyst of the Year. She is also the Career Advisor for DeVry University in Sacramento. This should be a very different type of meeting. Mark your calendars and send me your examples. Susan Trumbull, Program Chairperson
