Re: Labels

        I'm with Wright!  I have always had a problem with trying to read
handwritten labels.  I have great difficulty trying to read clear cursive,
never mind the scratch most people produce.  I teach high school, and
require all students to print in my class!  As for the difficulty of making
computer labels.  I am afraid I have to harrumph a bit!  (I am a
curmudgeon-in-training)  All modern word processsing programs come with
label templates.  The labels are not very expensive either.  But, for all
who must write labels by hand because they don't have computers- PLEASE
PRINT!!!!!  For all who label fish bags- watch out for careless spelling
errors!!!!!  When you are writing a label for your fish, please take the
time to be sure the label is clear, legible, and accurate!  Everyone will be
most grateful.
