I was so sorry to hear that Greg Hardy of Hardy Penwrights passed away last week. I never bought a pen from him but he was such a good energy at pen shows and his presence will be missed. The photos and stories in the link below are so wonderful. I recommend reading the post, even if you never met Greg. It’s such a nice celebration of his life.
