Brian:
I just listened to your interviews of Fall River, Massachusetts residents Marc Dion and John Brandt, in that order, and then realized that Mr. Brandt had to be the model for "John 'Bear' Bauer," proprietor of The Old Firehouse Smoke Shop in Mr. Dion's Mill River stories as featured in Pipes and Tobaccos magazine. If you ever have occasion to interview either again in the future, please explore this connection.
Best Regards,
