Spelling and Vocabulary for the Secretary
by Long, Tillett, and Woodbridge
for Katharine Gibbs School, New York
----------------------
After I became a proofreader, my dad gave me this reference book, which belonged to my grandmother who I never met. She traveled to New York to attend Katharine Gibbs School in the 1930s and later became a chief administrator at Duke Hospital.
She must have used this book quite often. It is worn and filled with her handwritten notes. I wish I could have connected with her as a fellow word nerd.
