Hello From Bedford VA

[Salty]

Thought I’d introduce myself. Originally from Walnut Cove, NC. Made my first corn cob pipe with my older brother’s help at eleven years of age and got my ass tanned stealing from my pappy’s can of Granger. When I turned 17, I enlisted in the navy as a diver. Retired and settled down in Bedford as I promised my wife. Worked for the US Postal Service and now I’m a double dipper. I mainly sit on my porch when not working through my honey-dos smoking a cob of Granger and sipping iced sweet tea.

So I’ve been smoking Granger in cobs everyday since ‘56. Now I’ve a mind to try other things and I figure it’s not too late for this salty dog to learn new tricks.

Thank you guys! I wouldn’t be here without the tech savvy grandkids helping me.

Never expected to find another person from Walnut Cove here, even to most people in the area I just say I'm from near Winston-Salem because if they don't know the Stokes county area they've never heard of Walnut Cove. Welcome!

Small world, ain’t it? Now to be honest, I left in 1962 and never looked back. Not sure if I would recognize the place now.
