Hello. My name is Dan, and I am from Tampa Bay, Florida. I am a sixty-five-year-old Male, but I feel like I am still forty. Who has moved around a lot in my life: FL, MA, Conn, PA, NJ, ME, and Saint Louis, MO. I work in 3D animation and write books. But what truly fascinates me is the art of pen pal relationships, a passion I've nurtured for fifty years since I was fifteen years old. This interest was sparked by the TV show 'Big Blue Marble,' 1973- 1976, a celebration of friendship and the lives of children around the world. There was a segment of the show where you could send and get a pen.
