my father's typewriter


When I was a girl my father typed a daily column for a Boston newspaper on an 

old school typewriter much like this one.

I remember hearing the sounds of his fingers on the keys as he typed.

    And wouldn't your father be astounded at what is available now to help him develop his craft and columns?!

    Memories are build on sounds like that and, to hear them again, is a time machine.

    The vintage editing is perfect! And, yes ... I remember these typewriters, too. They're collectors items now. Hmmm. I'm not sure I like what that says about how long I've been around! :-D

    What a wonderful memory... and lovely processing. I remember using a typewriter (not as pretty as this one) and correction tape. Seems so long ago...
