Isn’t this page from Fitzgerald’s baby book incredible? A friend shared this recently in light of the push to stop teaching handwriting in schools.
Wanting to know more about the page, I found an interesting site that was made by/for the author of Scrapbooks, Jessica Helfand, called The Daily Scrapbook–though I fear it isn’t being updated. Helfand quotes a biography of Fitzgerald that references his mother, Mollie McQuillan Fitzgerald, and explains that Mollie kept extensive records of her son’s youth (first cry, cute sayings, dance cards, and so on).
Umm… I have a cocktail napkin saved with Aron’s signatures after 21st-birthday drinks…
