I am working through the simplified manual, and as I go, I am creating a key for all of the “Reading” sections. But today I came across a real stumper! First of all, the first two outlines only make sense to me as “dear Tom,” but the second one doesn’t have the two little lines…
I’m starting a Gregg-learning club with some friends, as a productive quarantine/summer pastime, that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. In the past, I have tried teaching myself Anniversary, and even made a little bit of progress, but I’m hoping that with this accountability, I’ll be able to finally finish the thing….
