Not only are you the consummate professional, you are also very generous and not solely focused on the bottom line. <br /><br />I think what you did was a wonderful gesture that didn't put you in the light of a fan boy, but rather a person who wanted to share their appreciation for another person's talent and gift that many of us appreciated through the years. If more people said "thank you" we'd be living in a far nicer place. <br /><br />He gave to you through his work,...and you reciprocated with something from your work. (A really cool pen by the way) <br /><br />Thanks for that story. ....and THANK YOU....for all that you do too.

I have been increasingly aware that "...Norman,<br />I have been increasingly aware that "today's kids" do not seem to be concerned with not only handwriting, but writing in general. I am particularly concerned with the demise of cursive handwriting. Curse the keyboard! <br />The fountain pen has, for me, been the awakening call to pay attention to my own hand-writing. While the pen itself does not improve my penmanship, it sure calls attention to my LACK of penmanship. <br />This article is right-on.schwinn paramounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634967385801849333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6971398.post-80450957936497127612012-02-23T01:20:28.216-05:002012-02-23T01:20:28.216-05:00It's pretty amazing Maria!

A friend sent me a link last week to a pen site, specifically the page describing this pen; she was amazed at how ugly it was, and the asking price. This then unleashed my rant about waaaay overpriced 'collector' pens (the Sigmund Freud pen with a train going through a tunnel still is tops in pure tackiness I think), and my absolute love of the NON-overpriced.
