I worked as a draftsman so long that I could not write cursor since I had to print perfect for machine drafting. now (my example of printing for college drafting was the best out of 45 students), I have been using a computer so long that I have trouble with printing and cursor. when I have the occasion to speak with a Mexican person, sometimes they will say that I speak Spanish so good. I reply thanks, but I am forgetting Spanish and English!

Superb cursive hand writing, great readability. Having a good tool, pen or fountainpen allowing one to enjoy hand writing, I think that is one simple secret to promote hand writing. For sure, a bad writing tool will not favour hand writing.
Wonderful photo, impressive written history. Thank you for sharing, my dear friend.

Most interesting read. it is so good to see history preserved. You do know your photos are part of that process. Many, many years from now, someone will find 'Richardphotos'.

It's a shame that they don't teach penmanship any more. A teacher I knew considered clarity of thought to be inseparable from clarity of written expression.
