A Very Brief Introduction

[rick propas]

Hello, this is Rick Propas. Some of you may know me from other forums or from my website, The PENguin. I was directed here by my friend Laura N, who also writes on the website.

I hope to become reasonably active here, learn a lot and, perhaps, contribute a little.

Well, Hi, Rick, O master of all things Pelikan and otherwise! Welcome!

[rick propas]

Thanks, Susan. Let's do something with that IB nib. I really think, after reading the thread, that we should swap it. The other alternative, as someone suggested, would be to customize it so that it is more italic. So, be in touch.

Rick, we're so glad you've joined! How was Chicago?

Having a great time with my vintage Pels... :thumb:

Welcome to the fold!

Hey Rick!

Look forward to your input. Have visited your site numerous times and enjoyed it very much - although I do not have a Pelikan pen as yet.

[Sketchy]

It is lovely to see this forum being populated by so many of my favorite pen people. Welcome Rick!

[KrazyIvan]

:welcome: to the Dark Side. :) I have used your site a few times while researching my Pelikan pens.

And I was just thinking this morning: Rick is one of my favorite pen people, and look here he is!

Welcome!

Welcome, Rick. Have a seat and stay awhile.

[Greg Minuskin]

Oh Rick! So, so great to see you here! Do stay, post often, and I have some Pelikan nibs for you :-)

You will find the freedom on this site really refreshing, and people are fun/plus easy to get along with.

First off, whoa - Welcome, Rick! This is truly a great sign!

Secondly: hold on, hold on... Holy Crap (and I mean that: the holy kind, not everyday kind) - you are saying that "Laura N" is the author of "A Pen of One's Own"?? I am speechless, if true.

Anyway, welcome.
