Oh gosh....funny memories....my older sister and I are both left-handed, she was born in 1959. In primary school they did everything to discourage her left-handedness until she accidentally threw a softball threw the window of the headmistresses' office.
I followed her ad they left me alone. Left handed all the way....but also ambi....with softball and such I pitch left and bat right. Guess you can see why I am so mixed up.
