A Vancouver pen meet-up is a great idea, Keith! You and fellow pen afficianado Kent R. must be pretty lonely there in Alberta

Thank you Rob (and Anna) for arranging this wonderful pen meet-up today. The food was delicious, the pens were spectacular and the company was even better

Thank you for bringing so many wonderful pens (metal, hard rubber, celluloid, etc.)...and such a wide selection of metal pen brands; I only expected to see some all-metal Wahls and Sheaffers but you also brought over some great metal pens made by Conklin, the Boston Pen Co., Franklin, Carey and probably some other ones that I can't remember right now. We had a very nice visit with the Chaikins (after we left you) at their beautiful home and saw more of their fabulous collection of Chilton pens, a great selection of Wahl-Eversharps and some really nice Sheaffers (many more than I expected to see). We all made it home safely, and I am glad that Brian and his wife Georgina (yes, she is very patient) were kind enough to offer me a ride down to Bellingham with them and their friend Barry. Hope that you and Anna can make it up to Vancouver sometime in the not-too-distant future

Many thanks again,
Maja
