PDX Pen Club met in-person at a remarkably crowded Lucky Lab Beer Hall on NW Quimby on Sunday April 16th. Sixteen people were in attendance (maybe more, it was a crowd) Stuart brought many tools that he has developed to use with repairing vacuumatic pens – some vintage Parker, some he made. Sadly, the area was too loud to support a hybrid meeting and so those hoping to call in were disappointed.
