Children of the Type Writer - Part II

In our second installment of "Children of the Type Writer," Alyssa becomes a little upset with me because I didn't tell her about a bigger type writer, my Royal model FP desk top machine. Here she is coveting my FP and scolding me for my negligence!





Our series on Type Writer Faux Haiku will return after we get a good dose of these extremely cute children typing on type writers!!

Children of the Type Writer!

This is the first in our new series, "Children of the Type Writer!" Here we document the addictive nature of type-writing on the under 16 crowd! First in our series is 12 year old Sydney who is fascinated by the Underwood Number 5 that sits in my office at the university. Sydney is the eldest daughter of my dear friend and colleague, Prof. Kristen Majocha.

Below is Sydney's sister, 8 year old Alyssa, showing me, quite insistently, that she can type and doesn't need to "learn."

End of the rainbow -- Hemingway's type writer ... or is it?

So close and yet so far -- A college professor and Hemingway's type writer. How many frauds are present?

This cat is named "Fats." You can see a polydactyl foot. Sorry Fats, but you're a fraud.

Fats took a liking to me. Since picking up the cats is prohibited I had to brush him out of my lap--being allergic to handcuffs and law enforcement.

Bronze Star display in the main bedroom. I latter discovered someone named "Donald" was the recipient of the citation ... posthumously.

The citation, which comes with a tag saying, "from the JFK Library" is obviously computer generated. Can you see why?
