An excellent adoption, and made so much better with a good backstory. (:
Reminds me I need to write up the backstory of my Composer and its previous owner. I’ve managed to collect photos, video, news clippings and suchlike. It’s pretty cool when there’s enough clues that come with a machine to suss out what other people in history have done with it.
Yeah, this is the first typewriter I’ve added to the collection that came with more than “I used to type my term papers on it”. The typosphere is a very cool place where you can learn things you didn’t know you wanted to learn. ~T~

Look forward to reading more… and don’t forget to smoke a pipe!
Ha! Yes, in virtually every photo of George, he has his pipe. What would a newsroom be without pipe tobacco?
Wonderful gift – and a good backstory is icing on the cake. I wish I had more backstory on my own typewriters.
