Out of work high school teacher. I enjoy riding my Harley, smoking a pipe filled with a good Enlglish blend while reading and enjoying some good coffee. Four grown kids and a wife of 41 years (oh, the things she puts up with :) )

Many Italians. The beginning of a 7-day set by Michael Parks inspired by sea images. My most recent investment was a Larryson calabash I bought at the Chicago show (something I look forward to every year). My favorite sentimental pipe is a 1972 Caminetto New Dear egg inscribed by both Ascorti and Radice. It was my second relatively expesive pipe ($65 at the time). Favorite tobaccoes are: Maltese Falcon, Spilman Mixture, Nording's Fox/Hound, and Distinguished Gentleman.
