Hi Guys, My move into my nice new apartment in Manhattan goes well. The pen room has 12 feet of 40" kitchen cabinets serving as floating book shelves about various desks, and 9 feet of 7-ft-tall free standing shelves are in place. All packed with pens and related material (book, displays, magazines). The coming year should see much more efficient presentation of pens for sale and (i hope) article output.` At very least, I really need to do an overview of the Sheaffer/WASP "Screamers". Weirdly enough, it begins to look as if my next phase of "2 weeks in Manhattan, 2 weeks out of town working crazy shifts at hospital" will bring me to... Janesville. The couple months off while I reset has been a pleasure. I will be at Ohio for the full show and am eager to buy old pens. At several shows collectors have met me with collections to sell. If you are leaning in that direction, do drop me note at isaacson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx regards David ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to fptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject field.
