>>>Those were sticky fonts of the times - the letters were on a transparent sheet, and could be transfered to paper by means of pressing the selected letter with a pencil or end of a comb or fingernail or whatever, in thick dense lines until every, ahem, pixel of it would transfer. Then the next letter... They looked really neat if you didn't move the sheet while transferring. I still have one of my elementary school diplomas where the teacher who wronged me in 6th grade tried to redeem himself later by doing it in Lettraset. The names on all other diplomas were written by hand.

>Yes, he gave me a B in 6th grade, which was my only one through the whole (8-year) elementary school, and that was because I got an E for some kiosk I did from 1/8" plywood - and I didn't do that one alone, we did that in pairs, any my pair screwed the parts beyond recognition... and then in 7th and 8th grade I won the top scores on several competitions (city levels and above)... from his curriculum. So he sort of had me on his conscience.

>He ended up badly later. Became a corrupt local politician, had to leave town in discgrace, returned few years later, his son became a lawyer and also a murky person, and when he died he wasn't even mentioned outside of the (family only) obituary. Not even his party bothered.

Sad story. It is the worst thing to be forgotten by those who should have held respect.
