Recently I received a pleasant surprise by way of the United States Postal Service. A dear friend sent me a copy of the book “20th Century Typewriting”. The book was his grandmother-in-law’s until she passed in 2018. Now it is mine and it will “serve some extended usefulness” by preparing me for 21st century typewriting.

The book was accompanied by a beautifully-written letter, a work of art and something to treasure. Comparing this letter to the ones I write it is clear I have much work to do and this book will set me on the course for success.

Thank you.
