Jim,
Your're a caution! I never thought of that. I never met this grandfather, but he lived in Scotstown, Co Monaghan and when I researched it I discovered he lived in the next townland to the inventor of Gregg's shorthand. I don't know whether that had anything to do with it, but his shorthand was so good it was published on one of Gregg's manuals. Many thanks for your kind words.
Regards,
Oliver.
