Today the pen world lost a beautiful soul – Jim Rouse (@penmon_1 ) of @franklinchristoph . This picture is from the first time I really got to meet Jim, in the hotel bar at the 2016 Atlanta show. It was my first big pen show, and I was totally overwhelmed. He was so kind, and so welcoming, and I'll never, ever forget him. We'll miss your smiling face, Jim. Love to the Franklin Christoph team, and to his family. A post shared by @ loucke on Jul 15, 2018 at 5:34pm PDT 💔
