St Louis Pen Show!

 The Saint Louis Pen Show is this coming weekend.
27-29 June 2025, with Thursday 26 June being dealer day.
I will be volunteering during most of the show. (Need to find out if I can use my 8 hours of Volunteer Time work gives us for it... Or I may just save that for later, and use vacation time for Friday. I have been with CBS Outdoor / OUTFRONT Media long enough (It will be 18 years this year.) I usually struggle to take all my PTO. We can carry 1 week over into the following year, which I have done for the past few years, 

I've had fun with stationery type stuff since grade school.
My Dad was with the Illinois State Police. He was in the US Navy during the Vietnam Era, but his ship was in the Mediterranean. When he got out, he joined the state police.
He was first stationed in Vermillion County, Illinois, along the East border of IL. Just east of Champaign County IL.
I do have fond memories of that time in my life. We lived there during most of the early 1970s.
In the summer between 4th and 5th grades, we moved to Union County, Cobden IL to be exact...

How did I get onto family moves from stationery?
oh yeah, when we were in Oakwood, Vermillion County, I remember using some of his extra paperwork.
I remember in Cobden, I would prefer the Green Ink pens. Bic I think.
