Jim Trainor, 1240 Fox Trace Dr., Cordova, TN 38016
#1 2 Alphabet Sentences (Ages 6 and Under Only)
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Jack’s man found exactly a quarter in the woven zipper bag.
#2 Quote (Ages 7 to 10)
Letters, these seemingly commonplace little signs, taken for granted by so
many, belong to the most momentous products of creative power. These forms, which
we take in with our eyes a million times each day, embody the highest skill within their
small compass. They are abstract refinements of the creative imagination, full of clarity,
movement and subtlety. They combine two characteristics which must be inseparable:
the precision of mathematical laws and the expressiveness of the animated stroke.
Gustav Bartel
#3 Quote
(Ages 11 and older)
Handwriting: That action of emotion, of thought, and of decision that has
recorded the history of mankind, revealed the genius of invention, and disclosed
the inmost depths of the soulful heart. It gives ideas tangible form through written
letters, pictographs, symbols, and signs. Handwriting forms a bond across millennia
and generations that not only ties us to the thoughts and deeds of our forebears but also
serves as an irrevocable link to our humanity. Neither machines nor technology can
replace the contributions or continuing importance of this inexpensive portable skill.
Necessary in every age, handwriting remains just as vital to the enduring saga of
civilization as our next breath.
