Excellent. In the days of my great grandfather there was pride in a signature and it shows. In his day a signature was to be practiced and perfected.

Thank you.
May Cursive continue to bring the human to the written word and the written word to the human.

The substance of that document goes far beyond the nature of its script.

The essence of it should be required of any and all entering the US, perhaps expanded to include Communist and Islamist along with Anarchist and Polygamist.

We cannot and should not interfere with the practice of free thought, association or religion on the part of our loyal citizens, but it’s time we started using more discretion as to just who those citizens are.

Time to stop clutching the vipers to our breast.

My dad actually took penmanship in high school as an elective. There was never a word he wrote that you couldn't read with ease.

I do a lot of historical work. One of the guys in town is working on the school to reinstate "writing" for the whole second grade just as we did in the '50s.

Hmmmm....I have one of those from a great great great grandfather....never thought that he had completed it. Figured he only signed it.

That is beautiful writing by your great grandfather, cripplecreek. I particularly like the way he formed the capital letter “A” in April.
