I posted your request on a shorthand facebook page and also wrote the administrator of this board. I only just started relearning shorthand about a week ago, so doubt I could be of much help. However I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi, jkardo. I can try to help. I learned the edition that your grandmother most likely wrote. Can you PM me a link to the diary or should I send you my email address?

Be more than happy to help, but bare in mind that some of us may know different versions of Gregg shorthand and may give you a slightly different translation of what is written. This is also dependent on your grandmother's knowledge and creativity, as she could have created her own brief forms for words that she used on a frequent basis that I and other writers may be unfamiliar with.

Too bad Jkardo didn't post her email address. She might have forgotten where this site is and not be able to come back to it. It happens. I've posted on boards before never to find them again. Or else perhaps she has just been offline for a few days. I hope she checks back though. It looks like she has received several offers of assistance.

As Administrator I am able to see e-mails (don't worry, I don't spam since I don't like it). So I e-mailed Jkardo and put the link to this board and a reminder that the message was posted here. Hopefully we'll hear back. Debbi
