One holiday, my granddaughter
found the old, black, Royal typewriter
that was used by my grandfather
to write his first successful book.
She had learned how to hunt-and-peck
on her Mom’s and Dad’s computer,
so I found her some white paper,
and pushed the sliding carriage back
and forth for her. A fifth-grader,
she typed notes to her “Dear Mother,”
and, of course, to her “Dumb Brother.”
She did not seem to mind the lack
of some electrical power:
“It’s got its own built-in printer!”

Next time you write, think of David McCullough pounding away on his manual typewriter. J

It’s all in one’ perception, right?

Yup. Do you know that Robert McCullough, the historian, still uses a manual typewriter? And look at what his “printer” produces. Happy Thanksgiving, CA.
