Who was Grimes Posnik, part 2
February 13th, 2011
A week ago, I bought a battered fountain pen at the Alemany flea market for $3. I can safely say I’ve gotten my money’s worth.
A quick search on Google turned up an obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle. A quick email to the reporter who wrote the obit led to an hour with him over coffee. And that led to — well, read for yourself. And now, if you’ll forgive me my brevity, I have to get back to the flea market to return an old fountain pen to its rightful owner.

wonderful, wonderful story.
What a great ending to the story.
What a great story this turned out to be! How fun to pick up something with such a colorful history, and what a kind thing to do, returning it to his girlfriend.
