Nice to met you, Andrew.
You have written on pens:
This from the other new guy here in Maine.
As you wrote of pens, just to mention that two fellas here in Maine
have made a business of making pens by hand from the wood salvaged from
shipwrecks. I don't know any more except that they say it is going very
well. I don't know their routine of getting the wood, or the legalities
there, and I don't know what their shop is like;
so, forgive me for not knowing more, just that it seemed interesting to
mention that.
