    Unhappy So long Eagle. A Pen maker's inspiration.

    One of the most creative pen crafters passed away yesterday. William Prisavage, aka Eagle, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. He was a strong personality, he either liked you strongly or he disliked you strongly. But he was a character of great creative bent.

    My condolences to EagleSC's family. I never met him, but I surely did enjoy his postings, and his pens were immaculate, exquisite, works of wonder. Turning lost a gem!

    Wow. His family is in my prayers. A while back I purchased some blanks from him. I bought them for special occations. Now they take on an even more prized place in my heart. The pen turning world will sorely miss Eagle.

    Happy and Safe Turning, Don
