first time i saw it too--
congrats Hobie--nothin' like a grandkid--now spoil him to get even with the kids>

Yes, that's the one thing I remember about my Grandfather, as he had one chair that he always sat in and leaned over the foot stool where he played countless games of Solitaire while smoking his pipes, and luckily I found his pipes after 50 years.

lucky man--i was too young when my grandpa died, so his went somewhere i have never discovered--what i wouldn't give for them today--

My grandfather died in 1969, well before I was born. He used to smoke Amphora, from what I've heard.
I know what you mean whitebriar, I wish someone had to think about saving his pipes...
I've got his Hohner accordion, though, and it is a wonderful keepsake. I just had it restored this past year.
You are very lucky to have had them kept in a safe place, hobie! They are looking great.

Just caught this thread. Hobie, that's a good looking grandson.
I can't wait till I'm a grandfather. I get to spoil the grand kids, wind em up, buy them noisy toys, pump em full of sugar, then SEND THEM HOME.
