Michele Langlois is a young Canadian
who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many
criminals by using her special skill. When she was only 14,
Michele was already so interested in the differences in her school friends'
handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college
she went to France for a special two-year class to learn how to analyze
handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she began her work
for the Quebec police. Michele says that it is impossible for
people to disguise their handwriting. She can discover most of what she needs to
know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes, but she also has
machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink. This knowledge

handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. "I wouldn't go
out with a fellow ff I didn't like his handwriting, "she says. But she adds that
she fell in love with her future husband, William Smith, before she studied his
handwriting. It later proved to be all right,
