I am anxious to receive that letter. It can produce some beautiful lettering and usually very readable. I remember sitting at the old wooden desk at school with the inkwell and doing the penmanship. Practice, practice, practice the teacher would say. Kids now days hardly doing any writing at all; just a couple of years it seems and then it is all done on the computer. I haven't written a letter to anyone in many many years. All that practice did not do me any good as my writing has gotton less and less readable. Those who come after us and do their research will have it much easier as everything will be very readable. But of course, we know we have done all the hard work already. ..Shirley

What you say is true, virtually no one writes a letter anymore. However, there are that select few, mainly older people, who prefer to write simply because that's the only form of communication that's been ingrained into them from day one, that and the telephone. The computer is a "Foreign Object", best relegated to the younger generation. Tomasz On Jul 15, 2011, at 3:42 PM, Shirley Martys wrote: > > I am anxious to receive that letter.
