Hello, Beth.

My name is Grace Solorio. I also left reporting for about
seven years and then re-entered it. I thought I would have
a problem building up my speed, but it was very natural. I
requested to start off with easier cases, but after a few, I
was ready for all types of cases. I just did a lot of
finger drills to strengthen my fingers and build up my
stamina. Now I am taking another break to raise my child
and have decided to work as a scopist to keep my skills up.
I also hope to once again work in the field after a few
years. Good luck. You can e-mail me at Gracerpt@aol.com if
you have any other questions.
