yup. the very first time i ever wrote my name. and my mom saved the piece of paper. i don't think i have posted this before. if i have, i will put up another envelope later today, when i see this. (i am actually writing this on 7-7)
the JEAN at the top is my mom's writing. then i have my problems getting the J to go the right direction. at the end, i give myself a happy face. mom gets a big happy face for saving this piece of paper and dating it so that when people ask....how long have you been doing calligraphy, i can say...i started on jan 19, 1955
some sources say john hancock's birthday is jan 12, other say it is jan 23. jan 17 is halfway between the two dates. http://www.prweb.com/releases/nationalhandwritingweek/johnhancock/prweb1857154.htm
ReplyDeletei think the difference in dates had to do with some changing of the calendar. many historical topics fade out of my memory.
