A reporter reflects on a personal journey sparked by a story about a typewriter repairman in Bremerton, Washington. The hum of typewriters recalls memories of afternoons spent with his mother, whose steady presence and rhythmic typing provided comfort during difficult times. The repairman, Paul Lundy, inherited his shop from a mentor, embodying the transfer of knowledge and love between generations. Immersing himself in the tactile experience of typing on a restored machine, the reporter finds a renewed appreciation for focus, craftsmanship, and the enduring connections that shape our lives.
