One man’s journey to an advanced Certificate of Penmanship
During the golden age of penmanship (1860 - 1930), before the typewriter, becoming a Master Penman was the path to a successful career and high regard of friends and colleagues. Businesses required competent penmen for purposes of managing records, writing policies and executing certificates and many continued their craft by teaching penmanship throughout the country. Today there are only eleven individuals who bear the title ‘Master Penman’, and one of them is Bill Kemp who lives in nearby Albuquerque, NM.
