Oh for the days of the Reinhart Method. Yes, I am dating myself. It is such a pleasure to look at beautiful and legible signatures. I like to call them 'Catholic School' signatures a la Babe Ruth. I thought I would share a few signatures that show you that age does not prevent people having a good signature.

1. Gertrude Ederle - one of my favorite signatures. Best known as the first female to successfully swim the English Channel, she is also an Olympic gold medalist. Signed in her late 60's early 70's.

2. Walter Walsh - The oldest living Olympian ever. As of this posting he is 106 years 333 days old. Lets give him a big happy 107th on May 4th. A reknowned FBI agent he was involved in tracking many of the early gansters including Baby Face Nelson. When the FBI celebrated its 100th annivesary, he was 101. This was signed when he was well over 100 years old.
