    Default Hello from a new member

    Hello, I am a photographer from Warsaw, Poland. I am not a pen collector, but have several fountain pens which I use and appreciate. My first fountain pen was a gold plated Parker 45 which was given to me together with the corresponding Parker mechanical pencil by the director of the Liceo de Aplicacion (Caracas, Venezuela) as a prize for being the best student of my high school in 1961. I used it from time to time, but since I have traveled a lot and lived in several countries, I forgot about my Parker pen for many years without having cleaned it. When I got back to wanting to use my pen, it was clogged and no one in Poland could repair it claiming that the nib had a fissure. Also the mechanism of my pencil wouldn't move. I sent both my Parker fountain pen and mechanical pencil to Derrick Purser <derrick.purser@btinternet.com> in Scotland. He did a great job replacing the nib by a NOS extra fine and replacing other parts. He also repaired the mechanism of my pencil. The pen is now like new and it's a pleasure to write with it. For me it's like going back to my adolescent years. I will post from time to time my experience with my other fountain pens.

    We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

    Welcome!
    Clearly they had a higher and more comprehensive conception of the duties of society toward it's members than had the lawgivers of Europe of the time, and they imposed obligations upon it that were shirked elsewhere... But it is the provisions for public education which, from the very first, throw into the clearest relief the originality of American civilization.
