You just reminded me! An old lady at church had written a book about the history of our community. Boring as all get-out. But she asked my mom to let us type it and paid my sister and me $2 a page . So we young teenagers slaved over that yellow manual typewriter. Then she wanted to make a change, which meant retyping half of the horrible thing. And then she refused to pay us for the retyping!
But I did make a good bit of treat money by typing term papers in college.
I loaned the typewriter to a student of mine. Her boyfriend took it and it was never seen again.
