Thanks Dr joe! I was not feeling well so I decided to have a listen to this wonderful presentation in bed and I was so glad I did because it made me feel better seeing all these wonderful specimens and lovely anecdotes and more appreciation for calligraphy! I hope you find a lifetime supply of musselman perfections, for all the awesome work you put into IAMPETH, Zanerian.com and the op yahoo groups, facebook groups etc :)

Dr. Vitolo, is there anywhere online where I could inspect the specimens of Francis B. Courtney? I can't seem to find all the ones you showed in the presentation on your website.

Can you explain Hamid Reza Ebrahimi's grip? It seems that he does pretty well with a straight holder.

You have probably figured that out by now, but you can do the writing with a straight holder if you place your sheet of paper at the slant angle.
