These Guys Really Did This Right!

Occasionally at a pen show, Rob Bader will make a beeline for me with his hands behind his back and a cat-that-ate-the-canary grin on his face, and I know he’s really found something special. Rob’s got a great eye for a good pencil – I can’t ever remember a time that I wasn’t as excited by what he’d found has he was.

Usually, he’s content to have me drool all over whatever he’s found and then tell me it isn’t for sale, which is one reason why I started bringing my camera to pen shows. But this time I was salivating pretty heavily and he didn’t bring a big enough towel to wipe it off, so with a bit of cash (ok, more than just a bit) he let me bring it home . . .
