Hello Everyone,

This is your old Pal Angelo B., formerly from Chicago now in San Antonio. Well, it's been a crude year or so for us, but I do believe that the worst has past. Since our move here to San Antonio, I lost all of my household goods and personal belongings, lost my new job here and had a terrible X-mas for the kids at home. Almost lost my beloved Estie collection to gather some funds for the Children's Xmas dinner and presents. I have all but 2 of my favorite pens a Black Model J with a flex nib and a Brown J with another flex nib. Out the door went most of my nibs, but thanx to my little treasures we were able to provide an adequate Xmas and were also able to keep the kids going for a few weeks till I acquired a new job. Since the bullet wounds my health suffered a bit but I am fully recovered, I am happy to report. I think that now I should be able to be a contributor again to this great community, and the fact that I was able to buy a computer kinda helps to log in from home, yes the computers went out the door as well.... But so is life, but as the saying goes "...Cogito ergo sum, Dei gratias"... 'I think there fore I am, to God Thanx....

I have thought of you often, Angelo. And am so very glad to hear things are looking up.

Look forward to reading your posts when you can.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
