From Steve:
He asked about the Japanese paper I keep speaking so highly of and I’ll provide the link in the show notes for everyone else. - Tomoe River Paper
He says: “I look forward each Tuesday to listening at lunch. No meetings, no deadlines, just a full hour of listening to the podcast and browsing pen sites w/ my iPad. I hope to meet all of you in February at the show. I have attended the LA show since 1999. That year my dad won the grand prize drawing. A Delta Venezia!! A month later, 22 guys chipped in $50 each and we bought a Montegrappa Queen of Hearts. That was the prize for the March Madness Brackets pool. My dad won the pool. 2 great pens in 2 months. He gave them to me and I cherish them. Thought you guys would love the story.
