Guys get over it. It's called progress. Who writes anything anymore? No one, it's all done with a keyboard so why waste time teaching cursive? I spent hours writing cursive in school yet every one of my text books were printed both in K-12 and in college. So just why did I have to learn cursive?

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
