Ja, ich habe nur tatsächlich einen neuen Füller gekauft. Eigentlich wieder das gleiche Modell, das mir zuvor kaputt gegangen ist. Kostet nun ein Bruchteil des alten neuen Füllfederhalters, allerdings kann ich damit unverhältnismässig viel besser schreiben.
Hinten der neue Faber-Castell mit schwarzem Stiel und davor der Kaweco AL Sport in Silber.

American actress Mary Fuller (1988-1973) started her film career at Vitagraph and had her breakthrough at Edison. At Universal, Fuller became a major early film star who rivaled Mary Pickford in popularity. In 1917, she left the film industry and ended her life in a mental hospital.
Mary Claire Fuller was born in 1888 in Washington, District of Columbia, USA. Her parents were Nora Swing and attorney Miles Fuller. Mary spent her childhood on a farm. As a child, she was interested in music, writing, and art. Her father died in 1902, and by 1906, she was working in the theatre under the name Claire Fuller. She worked briefly with the Lyceum Stock Company in Toledo, Ohio. Fuller's entrance into the cinema was quite accidental. In 1908, her theatrical troupe was on its way to tour the South when, during a short stopover in New York City, the company broke up. Stranded, Mary made her way to the Vitagraph film studio in Brooklyn, NY, looking for a job. With her experience and attractiveness, she was put to work in action and comedy one-reelers. She also made a one-reel adaptation of Elektra (1910) and appeared in Jean the Match-Maker (Laurence Trimble, 1910) starring Jean, the Vitagraph Dog, and the Vitagraph Girl Florence Turner. In 1910, Fuller joined the Edison Film Company in the Bronx, where she appeared in the first film version of Frankenstein (J. Searle Dawley, 1910), based on the Mary Shelley novel. The unbilled cast included Augustus Phillips as Dr. Frankenstein, Charles Ogle as Frankenstein's monster, and Mary Fuller as the doctor's fiancée. The production was deliberately designed to de-emphasize the horrific aspects of the story and focus on the story's mystical and psychological elements. In 1912, Fuller was the star of the first serial, What Happened to Mary (Charles Brabin, 1912). The forerunner of all serials, What Happened to Mary was a series of twelve monthly one-reel episodes, each a complete entity in itself, revolving its immediate dramatic and melodramatic problems within the framework of a single episode and designed more for story and suspense situations than action. The scripts were written by Horace G. Plympton. What Happened to Mary was performed as a stage play and published as a single-volume print novel. Therefore, it is an early example of a multiple-media marketing campaign. She also appeared in the sequel, the action serial Who Will Marry Mary? (1913). Fuller also authored a number of screenplays, eight of which were made into films between 1913 and 1915.
By 1914 Mary Fuller was noticed by Universal Pictures, and she headed west. Fuller became a major early film star who rivaled Mary Pickford in popularity. She appeared in a wide variety of roles and starred in such melodramas as the serial Dolly of the Dailies (1914), and Under Southern Skies (Lucius Henderson, 1915), her first feature-length production. However, two years later Mary Fuller just packed up and walked away from Hollywood. She made the films The Long Trail (Howell Hansel, 1917) with Lou Tellegen, and Public Be Damned (Stanner E.V. Taylor, 1917), and then disappeared. A magazine writer found her in 1924, living in Washington, DC, with her mother. She said that she had tired of the hard work involved in making pictures, that she had invested her money and was living comfortably. She mentioned that she was thinking of going back to making films, but soon after the interview was published, she disappeared again. Nothing was ever heard from her until 1973, when it was discovered that she had died, of natural causes, in a Washington, DC, mental hospital. IMDb and Wikipedia write that Fuller suffered a nervous breakdown due to a broken heart after a failed affair with a married opera singer. The death of her mother in 1946 brought a second nervous breakdown. After being cared for by her sister, Fuller was admitted in 1947 to Washington's St. Elizabeths Hospital, where she remained for 26 years. The hospital was unable to locate any relatives, and she was buried in an unmarked grave in Congressional Cemetery. In the 2010s, a memorial bench was installed on the site of her grave, bearing a "Hollywood Star of Fame" and the inscription "A Personality of Eloquent Silence."

The members of the Fuller family were local landowners at Brightling, East Sussex from the late 16th Century onwards. The family fortune had been built upon iron and the manufacture of iron goods, especially cannons and similar equipment for the British Royal Navy. There was also a substantial income from sugar plantations in Jamaica.
By the time that John Fuller inherited the family home (then called Rose Hill, now Brightling Park) and fortunes in 1777 at the age of 20, the family was heavily involved in politics, both nationally and locally. John served several terms as Member of Parliament during his life, as well as fulfilling the role of squire for the area around Brightling.
He seems to have fostered an image of eccentricity throughout his many years (he died at the age of 77). A large man, living life to the full, he never married but enjoyed supporting good causes and assumed the role of local philanthropist - he paid for the first lifeboat at Eastbourne, and towards the building of the Belle Tout Lighthouse on the cliffs at nearby Beachy Head.
He is said to have revelled in the name 'Mad Jack Fuller' - presumably to enhance the eccentric image. During his life he arranged and paid for a number of follies and other structures in and around Brightling, perhaps the strangest being his own tomb in which he is buried in Brightling churchyard.

Sarah Fuller (1836-1927) was a pioneer in the education of hearing impaired children. A respected young Boston teacher who was considered to have a gift with children, she was chosen to become the first principal of the Boston School for Deaf-Mutes in 1869. This institution changed its name to the Horace Mann School for the Deaf in 1877, and she was to remain at its helm for 41 years until her retirement in 1910.
In her early years at the school she worked closely with Alexander Graham Bell in learning and applying his father's methods of teaching speech to the deaf. It was during this period that Bell was also at work on the development of the telephone, and he received some much needed support from Miss Fuller, who helped him keep his accounts and introduced him to relevant members of the American scientific community. In 1890 Miss Fuller applied the methods she learned and developed from Bell in giving the first speech lessons to a young blind and deaf girl - the later famous Helen Keller.
Sarah Fuller remained active in her retirement, and lived to a grand old age, passing away in her 92nd year.
