I remember Aunt Ave's working life... she could type so fast, she would "break" the old manual typewriters. (google it - the manual lever-arm keys would get stuck together) When her office was looking at the new IBM Selectric typewriters, they gave her the demo model to try out. The purchasing staff said "hurray! A machine that can keep up with her!", and promptly bought a dozen. Seriously, she was well above the 120 wpm range. And she could 'touch type' without looking - she would amuse us kids by talking to us and typing something else, simultaneously.
I also remember she was so faithful at coming to birthdays, graduations, etc when we were kids.
Rest in Peace, Aunt Ave
