Time for a trivia question:
How old was Louis Leslie when he started working in The Gregg Publishing Company?
Anyone knows the answer?
The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

I don't know the exact number of years, but LL once wrote that he taught himself Gregg shorthand at the age of 13, and then as soon as he finished high school he went to a Gregg College summer session for teachers and met JRG there. A short time after that summer session LL got a telegram inviting him to work for the company and he accepted immediately. So I'll guess 18 years old?
Good guess. He was 17!
