Getting the Covid Vaccine

[Phredd3]

I took typing and Gregg notehand (a form of short hand) in 10th grade in Great Neck, NY; both were a half-semester class and were given as a pair. Then when we moved to Ft. Lauderdale I had to pass both typing and swimming to graduate. Peace of cake! And typing did serve me well at Duke on my Smith Corona electric type writer (it's still in the garage). Never did get the hang of notehand.

I learned on a Royal portable *manual* typewriter. It was probably from the late '40s or early '50s. Man, you needed finger strength for that thing, and bigger hands than I had in middle school. As a result, my typing skills remained quite rudimentary until the computer age made it to me. I went through most of high school writing essays in longhand, but that didn't fly in college.
