I have always loved reading and spelling came naturally to me. For some reason I had trouble with g e o g r a p h y until my dad made up a verse. George eat old gray rat at Pa’s house yesterday. Never had any more trouble. I do not know why that has stayed with me from age 6 or 7 way back in 1950/51. My mom was a great speller too and won school spelling bees.

That’s clever. I’ve always remembered OBAFGKM, the same way.
