    Default Hello from Upstate New York

    Greetings! I know some of you already from FPN and from the much-missed Write Time @9 with the Goulets, but thought I'd introduce myself here. I'm an academic librarian in NY and have been using fountain pens for about 5 years now. I have a small collection that favors Pelikan (modern and vintage) and vintage American pens (esp. Parker and Sheaffer). I'm also a huge fan of Edison Pens!

    I dabble in calligraphy (mostly Spencerian) and other hobbies include tea, Victorian Literature, and Batman.

    Hope you're all having a great weekend!

    Ron

    Hi and welcome Anaximander.
    Feel free to show off some of your Spencerian calligraphy in the creative or review forums.
