Hello from Georgia

[Atherton Pens]

My name is Gary Hughes, from Powder Springs, GA. I'm a new member of IAP and like others have "lurked" for a few months. Great info here for us "newbies". Thanks for generously sharing information. I hope to be able to share some ideas in the future. I go by Atherton Pens, etc. Mostly just pens right now.... Just getting started but love it and hope to develop a little business. Got an order for 20 pens today so maybe it'll turn into something. (Pun intended)
