Carol,
I well remember you breaking the world speed record with a dotter. Some of
us were fairly nigty with the frame, but you left us far behind.
Not sure how many mistakes you made though.

Well, some of us are left-handed, so that meant I always wrote cross-handed!
I could write faster than anyone else I was with at school and have only
seldom seen others get up the kind of speeds I managed! Mind you, I had
plenty of practice writing pages and pages of letters to friends in the hols
when I was bored!
