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.

Wow! What a story! I can't imagine! Thank you, Carlos!
I'm glad you liked the story. It's really hard to imagine this happening.
I remember when this happened.
How'd you hear about it?
All the news outlets covered the story. I probably first encountered it in a newspaper, since I read newspapers more frequently than watching news broadcasts on TV. But the TV broadcasts also covered it, as did the weekly magazines.
Very interesting.
