I’m looking at coronavirus, since re-branded “COVID-19,” in far more than the too-limited terms of healthcare

March 2, 2020
From the editor— A month or so ago, I wouldn’t have had a new virus, heathcare systems, or global supply chain conditions in mind for my March 2020 editorial.

In the closing period of “Detroit Pen Show” presentation, Tom Baley was upstaged by his own Pelikan fountain pen collection

November 1, 2021
Billed by Detroit Pen Show organizers as an “in-depth seminar about luxury Pelikan Pens,” this Thomas R Baley presentation yesterday was certainly that. [1-3] In the exhibit hall over the course of three days, it seemed there was no such thing as a casual conversation about fountain pens with him at his seller tables doing business as “The Pen Man.” As an authorized dealer for Pelikan, that line not only dominated, but reflected both a range ....
