When I was in college, I was the fastest hunt-&-peck typist in the radio station newsroom. Decided to take a typing class when I got to grad school. My last test came back around 60 wpm, IIRC (needed the number for a job application sometime in the last 2.5 years).
Back in the early 1950s on the US Navy ship I was on, we had a Chief Radioman who would copy news reports on occasion while we were at sea — our only source of world news. That news came by Morse code at the rate of 60 words-per-minute and was typed using a mechanical typewriter. You didn’t even dare say “hello” to him while he was doing that..

My typing teachers were Messrs. Hunt and Peck.

Well, that’s funny. But I’ve been a “hunt-and pecker” so long I can do it faster than touch typists.

I thought is was just “hunt, peck, and cuss!”
