My daughter's name is old-fashioned. It is Charlotte Morgan. Charlotte going back several generations, Morgan because it was uncommon-- we thought. Now, I can name at least three of her friends from school named Morgan...
My wife is Michelena, showing her Italian heritage.
our son is...
Parrish and Lyendecker...
Two of my favorite illustrators. It's interesting that they have both come up. Both artists were influenced by the concept of "dynamic symmetry" and used it consistently in their work. Jay Hambidge wrote the most famous treatise about it in 1919, but it goes all the...
Groovie Movie/Junior Prom etc...
Check out the link that Root posted earlier. Here it is outright without the Google stuff:

The Natch clips on that site have just about everything I've ever seen. It would take long time to dig through all of them, but some are...
my Sheaffers
No clear visuated sections on those bottom two in the pic., but I did have a similar one in black that had that feature. As for how they fill, the smaller (ladies?) size one is a lever filler, and for the other, you unscrew the end and pull it out. I'm not sure if that is called...
Gotta love the Pendletons...

I almost forgot...
Another cool thing-- When I got home, I discovered a set of two smallish keys in the pocket of the jacket. They look like they belong to a safety deposit box or something like that. They have simple round key tag that says "record and detach" and a number. I guess there...
Wow guys, thanks for all the great compliments! I do feel really lucky to have made such a great find. I'm starting to think the size actually is pretty good and I probably will leave it alone for the time being. As I head towards middle age, those extra few inches might come in handy anyway...
Hello Everyone,
I've been hanging around here for awhile, but never really posting anything, so I read up about posting photos and I'm going to give this a shot.
Anyhow, here's the story. My sister in-law was visiting this past weekend and we were showing her around Atlanta. Along the...
