Hello fellow pen enthusiasts! My obsession is primarily rollerballs but aalso have a couple ball point and fountain pens. I love fountain pens but high maintenance and messy! I am looking frward to learning and contributing when I can. Here's a snapshot of my current collection.

Greetings from Nebraska and welcome to the IAP community.

I think I flew into Hartford several years ago. I remember driving down to Waterbury (I had some of the best Samuel Adams I've ever had that was on tap there). I was visiting a Vishay plant just outside of Shelton and then on down to Bridgeport to look at some equipment that we had in storage there.

Waterbury and Bridgeport are NOT 2 areas of CT we are proud of Bradley is a pleasure flying in and out of though!!

Thanks for the warm welcome and nice replies. I find a spend a LOT of time online obsessing over pens - off obsession / habit! People are like: "you don't need more pens". They are 100% correct, bit I just WANT more!! I think I have 15 more already since I posted the photo above!!

Hey Mark, My folks lived in Avon, CT for about 20 years.
We loved visiting during the time when the Canton Volunteer Fire Department held their Lobsterfest!
