New Member Hello from "Hot" Scottsdale AZ!
Because this is the first time in 12 years that we haven't gone to the Midwest (to escape the heat; thanks to Covid-19) for the summer, I have lots of time on my hands - so, even though I have been collecting pens (mostly Parker, MB, Schaffers, many others), I found and decided to join FPG! My attraction to Parkers goes back to the 1950's - my father had a '51 set which he gave to me. Later in life I was fortunate to have worked for Parker (out of Milwaukee, when it merged with Manpower). That's when my collection of Parkers really picked up steam -- there was no such thing as having too many Parker pens in those days! As I am advancing in years and it is clear that interest in fountain pens in no where near '60-70's level, I was also motivated to join FPG in hopes of eventually finding good homes for several of my Parker sets. AFN!

Greetings. I used to work near Manpower, on Pleasant St, in the old Schlitz brewery.

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Back in the 1960s I lived just south of you at 44th and East Thomas. It was mostly orange and date groves then.
