That's a great picture ... an old Saw Mill Cog?

Congrats, Brad. You have good reason to be proud of the young man like that. I wish him every success in his college career and beyond acquiring an education, may he grow to be the kind of man his granddad is.

Awesome pic Bradley and congrats to you young man. Do you know what pipe/tobacco combo you will be smoking at his graduation, or have you not bought that pipe yet?

When he visits I sit him down and I go thru the history of Pipes, he loves History. We always took rides in the truck from a toddler to teens, going to the snowball stand where at 6 months old I feed him his first Choclate snowball with cream on top. He was hooked, now is always crunching on ice. We always wore hats, you see the picture, it's a normal thing for him. He is going to a small college 20 miles from the house, UL home of the Raging Cajuns. He will take up Nurseing , he has taken advanced CPR in High School, he is a good student and the spitting image of my Grandfather. We talked about maybe a Tulane degree as a Dr, Who knows. Thank you for your interest I am humbled that I made it this long to see him Graduate, I am a lucky man.

Bradley:
I am so happy for you!
God willing, this apple of your eye will never see what you saw in the country formerly known as French Indo-China, but we'll make damn sure he knows what you did.
And, while it violates every known Big 8 and Big 12 known bone and fiber in my body, I'll say it one time:
Geaux Tigers!!!!!!
