Getting the Last Laugh

It annoys the bejabbers out of me not only that I was laughed at when I inquired about learning the printing trade all those years ago ... not only for the laughter but for my slinking off in defeat rather than shaking my fist at the naysayers and finding a way to do it anyway. I did come as close as I thought I could, being in the printing business all these years, but still ... there's nothing like getting your hands dirty.

I've been trolling the web looking for evidence of women's hands in the printing process ... and came across this site. Gives me heart, it does. I've also learned that one of the first printings of the Constitution ordered by Congress went to a woman. !!

So there!

First class is tomorrow evening. I'm chomping at this here bit!
