Pentrace was the first online fountain pen board I joined, and it was way back in 2002! The folks here were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and I learned so much from everyone who posted articles, reviews, messages and/or photos ... heck, even the information in the sales listings on the Green Board was informative ! And Giovanni's quizzes were both fun and educational---I had no idea *that* many pen companies were around in Settimo Torinese last century! Thanks to everyone who contributed to Pentrace over the years, as well as all the great pen sellers who sold me pens that I treasure to this day
