Goodbye, cursive! Last week a friend with young children in the public schools said ''Did you know they're not teaching cursive in school anymore? How are my kids going to sign their names?'' We scratched our heads--we didn't know. A few days after this, when my husband was going through boxes of his family's photos, documents and artifacts, he found a small leather book that had belonged to his great-grandfather. Its aging, delicate pages were filled with poems and wishes to be remembered, all in cursive styles from days gone by. Listen to these poems and heartfelt demonstrations of friendship read aloud.
