    Default Greetings from Calgary, Alberta Canada

    Hi everyone,
    I will confess to being a member of FPN, but I found my way here through participating in InCoWriMo. I didn't quite write 28 letters in February, but my pens got the best workout they've had in a long time.

    I am a new enthusiast, and hope to learn a lot on the forums here.

    So far, in my collection I have a Rotring Core (hideous looking, but appealing in a strange way) and a Rotring Esprit (the collapsable one), a pair of Estebrooks, a Noodler's Ahab, a Parker Frontier, a Lamy Nexx (very disappointing), and an ancient Sheaffer that I bought about 25 years ago. Favorite ink so far ... a tie between Private Reserve Blue Suede and Noodler's Lexington Grey.

    Otherwise, just glad to be here and hoping to learn and contribute (eventually).

    Cheers,
    Michael

    Welcome to FP Geeks! We welcome all refugees regardless of origin.

    There is a somewhat active pen group in Calgary, I believe. Have you made connections with them yet?

    Hi Tiffanyhenschel - Thanks. I have connected with the group, but have yet to attend a meeting with my meagre collection! How, when you're in Texas, do you know about a pen group in Calgary? Michael

    Hi Michael, I have a penpal in the area. It sounds like they are a fun group. I'm sure you would enjoy the meetings.

    Hey Michael,

    Good to have you, so welcome to the Fountain Pen Geeks forums! Smaller than the largest pen fora, larger than some, you'll find a comfortable community of pen-centric people here, with a growing body of posts, reviews, and group knowledge. Mostly, you'll find people who are enthusiastic about fountain pens, and fountain pen people.

    Join in!








    Regards,
    Jon
