Can anyone tell me what I missed?(As posted in reply to the question above on FPN, regarding Saturday's meeting)
There are some pictures of the meeting in the photo album on the website. John Roede gave a great presentation on
the Franklin Pen Company of Philadelphia. His research included a lot of information on the families involved including some
gathered from interviews of surviving descendents. John brought along examples of Franklin pens from various periods of the
company's history including eyedropper, plunger and lever filling pens.
Afterwards there was plenty of show
& tell with plenty of both vintage and modern pens to play with. With nearly 20 people in attendance the conference table
was full but the room was still comfortable.

New website!We've migrated the Philadelphia Pens website to a new tool that gives us more space and more flexibility as of today.
Actually, it is rebuilt rather than migrated, as there was no tool to actually move it. Some pain involved as there
were some issues with Register.com (which they resolved), and they are working on issues with pictures and with forms, which
they expect to have resolved shortly. I'm already impressed with how much easier this tool is and how much more
we'll be able to do.
