Guys,

I've talked about this man a few times here. Today he honored us with an hour of stories at the cigar store. Papa (what everyone calls him) is at the store almost every day to smoke cigars and play cribbage with anyone willing to take him on.

I hope you spend some time and watch his talk. There were times I needed kleenex. He's 93 years old now.

Wish I had better option, but it is my only source. I will tell you that if you YouTube his name you can find some really cool videos of him. These two in particular I really like....
