The Inventor Of Quink Ink - Dr. Eugenio Quesada?

[Inked]

Hello folks

 

The following link was forwarded to me by my wife, who's friend is the granddaughter of Dr. Eugenio Quesada.

 

Here is the link....the info I am referring to is in the first paragraph....

http://www.paete.org/abtpaete/yoyotaka.htm

 

It also turns out he was the first dean of the College of Pharmacy in Manila....

The article on Wikipedia...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quink ... does not mention him.

 

The granddaughter however, is very certain of this fact.

 

Anyone else know anything about this?

 

I thought you all might find that interesting, seeing how this is the Parker forum.

Interesting. As far as I know, it was another Pinoy who invented Quick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Quisumbing

I knew it was Filipino chemist that invented the Quink. Wikipedia says it's Francisco Quisumbing

Most Parker literature lists Galen Sayler as the chemist employed to develop Quick.

as a fiipino, i'd like to believe this story (which has become something of an urban legend in the philippines) but sadly i've yet to come across any kind of definitive proof (meaning parker's own literature, or perhaps quisumbing's own correspondence, something in the family papers) that dr. quisumbing was engaged in the development of quink.
