Full Circle

[sablebrush52]

Last year at around this time, I donated this pipe to help pay for Rolando Negoita's medical bills:

Fishbanjo bought it.

I contacted his friend about buying it back. It arrived today. I've effectively bought this pipe twice, but I figure that between Fishbanjo's purchase, and my repurchase, the money went to help people in need.

Nice story Jesse, that pipe has certainly been around.

Now that Jesse is the sort of news I like to read about - well done that man!

 

[seanv]

Very cool story. Funny how things go sometimes

 

[sandollars]

Nice story.

 

[lawdogspipes]

Excellent.

 

[jttnk]

Definition: Mensch. Well done and inspirational.

Also, wow that shank, bamboo is awesome!

 

[rmpeeps]

Excellent!!
I’m glad it found it’s way back to you.

I believe that pipe has a more poignant story than the pipes owned by Alfred Hitchcock even. Keep that treasure for the duration.

Wonderful pipe and story.

 

[augiebd]

A story worthy of the pipe and people.

Does anyone have an update on Rolando Negoita's health?

 

[alaskanpiper]

Very cool gestures, and a very cool pipe!

 

[mau1]

That was a noble thing to do. I tip my hat to you, Sir.

Hi Cosmic, Thanks for the welcome. I'd still like to participate, but as I put my foot in my mouth every time I do, silence seems the best alternative.

Saltedplug, there's been a couple of times I wished you were around to put your foot in other peoples mouths ?

We all do that when there's no pipe in the way. You'll just have to start smoking again and problem solved.

An awesome pipe, with a great story. Good stuff my friend.

 

[saltedplug]

I'd love to smoke again. But if I cave and smoke just one bowl, it might be quite some time before I get tobacco back out of my life, and that would mean the return of the respiratory symptoms. When I quit I had the clarity to know this much but no further, and that if I didn't stop I'd be in the hospital.

But I certainly do miss it.
