No paper, no pencils, just working with the shapes.  We had a ball!  Thank you for inviting us and providing a great meal Dr. Jennifer Austin!  Teachers got to take home a set of about 15 of their favorite type.  Finding the types began in 1900 with Hilbert’s challenge and ended in 2017.  Its a great story.
