You might meet her in May.

I don't believe it was faked.

We signed this on the day of the Apollo 11 launch (17 July 1969 in Oz, 16 July in the USA) - my signature hasn't changed much http://61.9.197.173/otc/stories/apol...lo11_stamp.htm

Sorry Ron but I need to know. How come you signed the envelope in black pen whilst everyone else signed and addressed in blue pen?

decipher meaning in time writers began to separate words which made reading easier
but it took years and years of development before such things are paragraphs and periods became standard in writing
paragraphs eventually became common as did periods and the other forms of punctuation, including starting the first word of a sentence with a capital letter. The printing press has been an important factor in the development of punctuation as clues to intonation and meaning.

I use a fountain pen with black Quink. I still do. That Parker 51 pen was bought by Elisabeth for my 21st birthday. I still have it but stopped using it about 5 years ago as I cannot get it repaired (new nib) in Australia. Parker have changed hands so their lifetime warranty doesn't apply to pens bought before the current owners took over.

I'll have to send the pen to the London. On a trip to Melbourne a couple of years ago, I found a pen shop in the CBD which could repair it - but I've lost their card and have not found the shop again on subsequent visits.
