[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 400743, member: 1723"] I used a fountain pen back in early grade school, say from when we were taught cursive writing in about the 2nd or 3rd grade. That was about a hundred years ago now! Always remember that the pens seemed about 10X larger than my small hands. Had some from my grandparents that were difficult to work with due to the size. Yet they were things of beauty, and I sometimes sketched out crude drawings of them as missiles with fins! My cursive writing was always for s**t. And the girls in my class always had perfect cursive writing, as did my Mom. They must have practised loops and such over and over until it was just right. Not for the likes of me! To this day, whenever I have to write something out by hand I use block printing. And it's still crude! Kudos to those of you who can use a fountain pen and manage the cursive style. It's an art to be sure. And no, I no longer have any of those old pens! Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
