Curious---Tad left or right handed?

[L Verge]

I've never seen any reference to Tad being right- or left-handed. I was educated in the U.S. beginning in the late-1940s, and I do recall teachers trying to get left-handers to switch to their right hand, but I don't believe it was mandatory. I do remember some classrooms having those half-desks, however, that were designed for right-handers. They made it very difficult to write with one's left hand. I suspect that all desks in the 19th century were full size, however.
