Editorials

It wasn't just cursive, it was 18th century cursive.
A colleague and I broke out the dip pens and ink and old guide sheets on how to write in the style of the Founding Fathers. The idea was that trying it would make it easier to read for my class to read old documents if they tried writing that way. Even if you know how to write and read in cursive, those old documents can still be a challenge.

I feel so fortunate to be alive during a time to have known so many incredible Nashville icons. On September 3rd, one of those icons, Lee Roy Jones, passed away at the age of 91.
Most everyone in Nashville knew Mr. Lee Roy, for he never met a stranger. I don't ever recall him being anything but happy.
He absolutely loved to dance and never missed an opportunity to join a line dancing group.
