I love the irony that what so often isolates us can also be what brings us together.<br /><br />Now that Mr Green has been showered with money, how about we shower him with business? Anyone out there have a machine needing repairs? If there is only one typewriter shop in an literary town like Amherst, he should have a corner on the market.MTCoalhopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340714747359998522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-48380007491241422892011-02-24T23:24:53.469-05:002011-02-24T23:24:53.469-05:00Wonderful!!

I hope you have some Olivers.<br /><br />Richard's comments in reply to the reporter's prognostications just can't be improved upon. And, actually, without the internet, Mr. Green's type writer shop probably could not have been saved--ironically enough.Martin A.

I wonder if Tom Hanks needs the platens replaced on his collection - that could pay Mr. Green's rent for a year :D<br /><br />Seriously though, it's awesome to see a craftsman get a second chance to keep doing his craft. May there be a resurgence in the popularity of typewriting in your town so that Mr. Green can continue to profitably ply his trade!Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-31262633692535387122011-02-24T16:18:19.034-05:002011-02-24T16:18:19.034-05:00It's too bad I can't just move him here. ...It's too bad I can't just move him here.
