~No chance of matching her since she typed 180 wpm on a manual typewriter. ~

I could type 100 wpm on an electric... I find your claim of someone being able to type 180 wpm on a manual not quite believeable. Sorry.

When she was Littons financial secretary and Bart Littons personal secretary at Litton Savings they had to buy her a manual typewriter because an IBM Selectric couldn't keep and jammed.

When it came time to do all the Ws for the employees at the end of the year I always had her come into the office and do them because she could get all of them for between 800 and 1000 employees done in one day and put into envelopes ready for mailing.

I don't give a rats ass whether you believe me or not and as far as your 100wpm, 50 years ago that was average at best and sure wouldn't have landed you a job in my office. I was typing faster than that in high school.
