Your grandmother could type 120 wpm on an old manual typewriter. I was pretty close to that and I am still doing 80 or so now without trying. That is why I make typos. I am two lines down before I can even look back. Mother also was a virtually perfect sketch artist. That is something I CAN do, but am not good like she was. I do have her eye for concept, though. Both of us can hang pictures without measuring or do wallpaper without a yardstick. I can shove more things into a freezer than you could ever believe. I wish she could have played in band. They did not have one in Campbell when she attended. She would have burned the keys right off a flute. – pz
