As guardians for our ten year old great grandson, we found out that 
the schools today have abandoned handwriting, leaving it all to PC 
keyboards,  When he was asked to sign a Cub Scout participation 
paper, he couldn't write.  Even his teachers don't think its that 
important.  Geeesh.

Since then we picked up materials and did home-schooling for this 
important function!  Easy instruction and he picked it up instantly.

(next in line is some CW instruction leading to a ham ticket.  hope 
it works) :-)

Pardon me for the OT
