Steve,

It has been much too long since I have written...rural life has its advantages,
and on-line accessibility is most certainly *not* one of them!

Anyway, here it is eleven months later, and the PD population has ballooned
quite a bit...the more the merrier, of course :-{)>

First, I would like to thank Mr. Thom France (wherever he may be) for the first
pipe I've ever gotten for my birthday (sheesh...I'm 23 mow...I suspect a good
chunk of our readers are younger than I am...)

Next, I would like to thank Mr. Bill Unger and everyone involved in making the
Ohio Pipe Show a wonderful, fun-filled experience.  In fact, I just reserved
two vacation days for next year's show!  Ohhh, yes...a special thanks to Mrs.
Gabrielle Sempf for graciously signing "her" copy of the A&M for me :-P

Finally, since I am no longer a part of the University (shhhh....) I really
shouldn't be using that word in the title of my club, which is fine with me,
since I am trying to alter the organization slightly, and, as always, I would
love to hear from any pipe smokers/ collectors in the Central Illinois area.

YBB&CCC
