Derek Knoble, Note 1

Derek Knoble, Note 1 MY PRIMARY REASON FOR COLLECTING FOUNTAIN PENS (WHICH I STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO) WAS TO GET BACK INTO THE HABIT OF WRITING LETTERS TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME. SO FAR I HAVE DONE A MUCH BETTER JOB. HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THAT I DO IT ENOUGH STILL. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I RECEIVED PRAISE FOR MY EXCELLENT PENMANSHIP. OBVIOUSLY WITH THE INCREASE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION CHANNELS, MY WRITING HAS SUFFERED. OF COURSE, ANY EXCUSE THAT I FIND TO WRITE A LETTER (SUCH AS THIS) IS A GREAT WAY TO REMIND ME TO TAKE MY HANDS OFF OF THE KEYBOARD, GRAB A PEN, AND LOOK FOR MY NOTEPAD. THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. WE LOSE SO MUCH AS A SOCIETY WHEN WE STOP WRITING, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION! WRITTEN ON MY RHODIA ICE NO. 16 GRAPH PAPER.
