Hey, everyone! I guess you could say I'm a reborn Fountain Pen enthusiast. I was introduced to fountain pens while in high school, circa 1971. I'm re-discovering some of my old passions now that I have time to savor them. Hoping to meet some new friends here. Props to pen-pals!

Welcome!! What fountain pens did you use in high school all those years ago? (I am a Sophomore and use a Pelikan m400 and a Vintage Aurora 88 at school)

[k0rvet]

Gosh, it's been years! I think we used a very basic Parker medium nib. I don't remember the model number but it worked - sort of.

Not a Parker Vector--that was in the 1980's...hmm..I don't know what you could have used. Parker 15?

Hi there k0rvet, welcome to the insanity. Keep your pens close and your wallet closer!! :-)

Hello and welcome.

Wow! Thanks for the greetings and warm welcome, folks! I do believe it was an old Parker 45. Sadly it got handed down, brother to brother, as each one passed through that class. I was the eldest of seven, so it passed through a lot of hands. I hope one of them kept it. It was a nice pen.
