When the Japanese signed the surrender aboard the Battle Ship Missouri
General MacAarthur use his own personal pen. An Orange Parker Duofold,
it was twenty years old at the time. Parker fairly recently made a
Limited Edition copy of 1945 unites. Get it one thousand nine hundred
and forty five.


In fact, MacArthur used a total of 6 pens that day - including his Orange Duofold.

During an interview last night with a former White House staff member
during the Reagan Administration, he mentioned that Ronald always had a
lot of pens on hand that he was fond of. Some of them were gifts from
foreign dignitaries and friends from all over the world.

I am curious, what kinds of pens did he mostly use and what kind of
fountain pen did he sign important bills and documents with? I think
somebody once commented on here that he did an advertisement for a pen
company in the 1940s?


I ran across the following from the History 80's tab at
http://www.spacepen.com/usa/index2.htm:


"1983 - Fisher Space Pen is used by Ronald Reagan to sign the Proclamation
inaugurating the Air and Space Bicentennial Year to celebrate Man's first
flight in a hot air balloon near Paris France"

Can we talk about pens? If you want to display your political
brilliance, there are plenty of other groups on the server.


We have become so intolerant in some areas; that bit of sarcasm
doesn't seem so outrageous. I can think of several threads that went
way OT without such serious criticism.


OK, then let's try it this way... Imagine Pres. Kerry signing an
important bill, and someone asks for the pen as a keepsake. "Pen? I
don't own any pen. That's the family pen. And I actually voted
against this bill before I voted for it. Hey, did you know I used a
MB 149 when I served in Vietnam? But I threw that pen away in
protest. No, wait, it was someone's else's pen. And it wasn't a pen,
it was a nib, section, and cap. Did I mention I served in Vietnam?"


Polly wants a cookie?

Not taking any sides here, man, but have you tried independent thought lately? Is
any of your political opinions not a platitude? Read anything other than Calvin?

I hope you are not older than 14 or so. Voting rights for the moronic are the dark
side of democracy.

And yet... You are entitled. God bless America.

S.A.M.
