About a week before Paul's surgery his lifelong friend, Tom, flew in to help out during the beginning stages of Paul's surgery. (wish i'd gotten the chance to fly his plane, a glass cockpit Grumman Tiger, reaaaaaaaly nice!)
They had gone to Paul's favorite cigar shop where Tom found this meerschaum hand carved sultan pipe from Turkey. I have to admit, it's a very pretty, well crafted pipe.
Today after i went to see Paul, who is making progress.....slowly but surely, i left the aftercare hospital and went by the cigar shop which was not even 3 minutes away and bought the sultan for Tom. i'm shipping it to him sometime on Monday.
my way of saying "Thanks". while he and his wife were here they were a tremendous help.
