Greetings From Tennessee

[prometheus13]

Good morning. I just wanted to (re) introduce myself as a new member. I'm what I think of as a dedicated pen dabbler of many years' duration (nearly 30 by my estimate). Early on, I collected brands (Parker, Pelikan mostly) -- new, vintage, in between! My collection was branching out to pretty much anything that caught my eye, then kids came along so my focus (time, $, energy) necessarily shifted. I found myself using Pilot roller balls etc at work and had only a few fountain pens in rotation. Starting about 2 years ago, phoenix-like my FP passion re-awoke but in a new direction. I "discovered" the joys of steel nibs, fairly inexpensive pens (FPR, Noodlers, Safari/Al Star, TWSBI), American small batch pens (Karas Kustoms, Franklin-Christoph) and Faber-Castell. Re-joining FPN became a lifestyle must!
