Advice from Gramps

I was reminded today of some advice my grandfather, Gerald Ray (Bud) Leonard), used to give numerous times:  "It's not a bargain if you don't need it."  Remembering that advice has save me many pretty pennies.  :)

My Mom & Typing

Because today is Labor Day I thought I would share something about my mom--Bertha Bee Leonard McCauley-- and a work experience she had.  At one time while we were living at Williams Air Force Base, my mom was encouraged by her superiors at work to take a typing class.  So she did.  Not only were the students taught to type, but they also had to learn some things from a workbook or manual. Then they were tested on their typing as well as what they learned from the manual.  Much to the instructor's surprise ( and everyone else's), my mother got the highest mark on the manual info, but she never did learn to type.  :)
