Kirk was awesome and it was so incredibly cool to come to the shop and meet everyone. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Wonderful show! And all the best to Leila for a successful surgery and recovery!! ❤❤

Wishing Leila a successful surgery and a very speedy recovery! Thanks for another great show with 2 iteresting interviews . Love seeing Kirk Speer and learned a lot from Leila’s hard hitting questions. He is my favorite nibmeister and I am madly in love with his smooth cursive italic grind. Sending much love to Leena and prayers for her dad. Be well ladies. Will be keeping Leila in prayer, too ❤

Speedy recovery prayers to Leila!
Watching while listening for the postal carrier’s delivery of my Firefly Stone.
Commenting after receiving it-took it out in the sunlight. A beauty to behold that has currently stolen my breath and my heart. Details to come-perhaps in handwritten form. Thank you for the inspiration!

You two really have a place in so many of our hearts. Leila, thinking good thoughts for your recovery and sending healing energy your way. For your Penjoyment and Laura’s Blog conjure the perfect mix of heart, humor and education (simply could not find a synonym for education that gave me an alliterative “H.”) Laura’s deep dives lately into Pilot soft and flex nibs (along with Bill’s comments here) really helped me as I sought out the perfect flex nib, especially the distinction between the FA on the 912 and the 743, so thank you for the penjoyment in all its forms! Keep well - Ben

It was great to meet Bill and chat and sample all the lovely Pilots.
Kirk's Penelope hijinks were subtly hilarious, though I fear he may be hearing from the ASPCPPP (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plaster Pelikan Penholders).
Best wishes for an uneventful and speedy recovery to Leila.
