    Default Hawk From the Land of Lincoln

    I joined a few weeks ago after lurking a bit. Generally I am not a poster, just a reader. In grade school, I learned to use a fountain pen and smeared ink writing with my left hand while writing. My parents had, of course, fountain pens that I have kept and stored somewhere including a Parker Vacuumatic. My wife got the bug and started collecting and using fountain pens. Guess what, that rekindled my need for fountain pens.

    Besides the pens, I like to collect stuff, read a lot, interested in the American Civil War and a member of the Lions to help others.
