Hi. I'm Allan. I enjoy hearing about those who used Fountain pens in grade school. I didn't know what a fountain pen was when I was in grade school. I bought a pen as a gift for some one. Before I gave the pen to them I tested it to make sure it worked okay. I enjoyed the way it felt, so I bought one for myself "Cross Bailey". I would never spend more than a couple of dollars for a ball point. So, I thought I was in hi cotton to spend 50 bucks on a fountain pen. It didn't do any thing for my poor handwriting, but it sure was fun to write with. my writing looks bad because I have a slight tremble in my hands. It is what it is. Th bottom line is, I enjoy collecting fountain pens and talking about them. Oh yeah, can any one tell me how to install a profile pic. I can't seam to find it. I see where it says upload an avatar, just not a profile pic. Thanx, Allan
