READER PEN PLUG FOLLOWUP: So a while back, reader Greg Shea asked me to plug his family’s line of made-in-the-USA pens. I did, and the Insta-Daughter messaged me that she thought they were pretty, so I ordered her some. She reports that she loves them: They’re “very pretty,” and “I used them on a quiz today and the ink doesn’t smear when I write quickly.” Sounds good!
