I'm forwarding this from Shirley Taylor: I've often thought how wonderful the pages with my vintage photos of family ancestors would look, if only I could duplicate the kind of lettering found on their tombstones. They would make cherished family heirloom gifts, all curly-cued and framed. Now there's a terrific class for senior genealogists that may be coming to your local Senior Center...and it's all free. The people in the first series of classes told me they weren't artistic, but now they were drawing Victorian fleur de lei in colored inks and lettering in swirls and flourishes. It all looked terrific to me and I'm the artistic type. The Kent Senior Center as well as other Senior Centers, are offering FREE classes by skilled instructors in "Simplicity of Calligraphy". The complimentary classes, which includes supplies, is offered to those 55 and over, fully funded by the Paul Allen Foundation. The next series of 8 - 2 hour classes begins January 5. For those in the Kent area, call 253-856-5150 to sign up or call the local Senior Center in your area to inquire about these classes. SKCGS member, Shirley Taylor
