Perspectives

Dear Heloise: I read with interest the letter from the retired history teacher in Colorado and had some thoughts: 1. Regarding cursive handwriting, it’s true that students will wind up typing most of their schoolwork on a laptop. But without learning proper cursive penmanship, they will have great difficulty developing a unique signature for legal documents. I guess they will all rely on electronic signatures?

Dear Heloise: I’m starting a new life on my own for the first time in 40 years. I used to make all the standard things for meals that my husband liked, but now I intend to cook just for me. I’m tired of all the things I made for lunch/dinner/dessert in the past, and I want to try something different.

Bob Wills was inducted on Oct. 18, 1968 into the Country Music Hall of Fame, an ironic honor since the King of Western Swing never thought there was anything “country” about his sound.
