Mr. HOOVER had an awful penmanship. THank goodness they never used that!

Hi Paul.
Thanks for the nice words, however, John Lucia also contributed to every issue I did. When I asked Charles Richard to print and publish, it was a group effort. I wrote a letter to the club, John followed with his thoughts, then Charles added a few words. From there it was open to all members. Contributions, stories, pictures, and whatnot. Without the members, John and Charles, it could not have been done. Thanks to all who worked on the newsletter.

Hi gottahaveahoove.
Boss Hoover may have had bad penmanship, but his son Frank G. wrote a great book, which was. 'Fabulous Dustpan.'
Thanks for sharing,
Alex Taber.

John,
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll take your word about Mr. Hoover's penmanship and assume he wasn't instructed in the A. N. Palmer Handwriting Method--ha. </span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Regarding the Hoover logo, the same lettering in the red circle logo was kept for many years until the current Helvetica capitals--right? I don't think I have seen the variations in it as I have seen with Kirby's variations.</span>

Paul,
you are right about the HOOVER stuff.
Alex, I have 2 Fabulous Dustpans. Wouldn't it have been great to see a book written AFTER that? That's when it all started to 'hop' in N Canton. a shame no sequel.Paul, I am a "certified' A.N. Palmer Method instructor. That and $1.50 will get you a coke in a cheap machine.

John,
<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks and LOL--while I can't copy Palmer's penmanship exactly, I have to say that I am in the ballpark of it and Parker Zaner Bloser's cursive. With that I think I'll grab a Coke.</span>
