Hi folks--
I suppose I'm a fpgeek as I love writing with fountain pens. It started in 4th grade when a nun in our school introduced me to them. My writing is atrocious--go figure.

I currently live and work in Cookeville, Tennessee for Tennessee Technological University as a pre-award research administrator. I love working in higher education having previously worked for a small business, a *very* large commercial real estate firm, and an internet start-up.

What I have isn't much in comparison, but perhaps fortune and time will allow me to add to the collection and pass it down.

Two turned pens (one wood and one acrylic) from craft shows.
Two Rotring 600's (one's in need of a small repair)
One Waterman Expert
Three Monteverdes (Black Mega Ink Ball, Invincia Ti, Invincia Carbon w/ stub nib)
Sailor Regulus
Pilot/Namiki Falcon


I'd like to learn more about repairs and working with vintage pens and just share & learn from other fpgeeks.
