Hello, I am new to the blog, but so glad to have found it.  I learned shorthand from the Gregg Diamond Jubilee Series in the mid 1970’s.  I used it in many jobs and served in the US Army, in Frankfurt Germany in the late 1970’s. When the Commander of our Battalion learned I took shorthand I was assigned to the Command staff as it’s main clerk.  I subsequently went to college and earned a B.S. and M.A. but my shorthand was always a prize to me.  Now retired, I found some Diamond Jubilee series books on E Bay and re-discovered my love of shorthand.  While searching for more reading material in shorthand I found the blog and I am just thrilled to know others love shorthand as much as I do.  Thank you, I hope to be a contributor, however, my greatest joy will be reading more shorthand from other devotees.
