Just wanted to give a big public round of applause to the North Texas Fountain Pen Collectors Club for putting on an awesome pen show this weekend in Dallas! Too many names to mention and I'd surely forget someone, but this group pulled off another show in the midst of crazy economic times. Lots of people in attendance, lots of pens changing hands and it sure was fun to be in Dallas again. The new larger venue at the Sheraton offered a lot more space, but the show still spilled over into the hallway areas with close to 100 tables. Many veteran pen people there, along with a good dose of newer collectors which what our hobby needs to keep it strong. Just an all around great weekend in Dallas. So THANK YOU to Mike, Larry, Pete and the whole gang of North Texas Pen Collectors for your hospitality and the chance to come to Dallas again!

We're back on the road again today to hunt for more good pen stuff in Texas and Oklahoma ... another fun part of pen shows for us.

Good Collecting! Sam
