Annual pilgrimage to North Canton Ohio.

[gottahaveahoove]

Bradley,

I'm sensing a bit of hostility. Do we know each other?  Have we ever had words b/w us? I'm sorry if my posts annoy you.  You may always feel free to email me or call and we can talk.


 Should I make my posts longer?  3 lines.


 


Damien,


  Dick Pike died 3 days ago.  His funeral will be on Monday. 


I'm proud to have been in his home numerous times.  I'm grateful to have known both him and his wife, Joellen.

No hostility here,

Just amusement.

Well, that's good to hear.

I was only there once in the winter.
We went to the Bag Plant 2 just before it closed. Then, we went to the Mc Kinley Museum, then to The Hoover Historical Center to a fab Christmas party and horse drawn sleighride around the property.

So, yes, some call it a pilgrimage. Others, well, it really matters not, so, who cares?
Silly, isn't it? Ridiculous, actually.
But I go regularly, because I'm welcome there.
I hope to see Ann Haines, too. Maybe I'll bring her some kitchen treats, too.

I spoke with Tom last night.

He's going to Dick Pike's wake on Sunday.

I believe Dick's son, Tom will remain in the home. (beautiful house)... been there numerous times.

I'll treasure all of the things I got there on various visits.

No doubt, we'll stop at the museum while I'm there.
Let the letter brigade begin.

I was at the store today.

I got all of the things needed to prepare the things I take to N. Canton.
I usually make a large amount of home made spaghetti sauce, meatballs and sausage.


I also bake banana nut breads, Irish sodabreads, and some cookies. Once there, I'll whip up a few pitchers of iced tea (yep).
I'm bringing a few vacuums for a general overhaul, as well as a special 'vintage' surprise for Tom.
A few days....................

Well after a lot of rain and construction I finally made it

Back to North canton.

Here's a little gift I brought for Tom.

It was a machine he was looking for for a long time I'm thrilled when I can give somebody to Tom he doesn't have. It's always nice to fill in little pieces to your collection.

And new things all around the building.

Is that a Richmond?!?!?!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Then we went to our favorite

Place....the factory. We were able to still go to a lot of areas. Some of it has been used by otherbusibeses.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

It was great to go thru the halls as well as use so

Many staircases. We waited for the rain to stop inside the lobby.

HOLY SH!T

That isn't a Richmond, it is the first Birtman ever!! I will pay someone handsomely to get that and ship it to me.

I found some more fun pictures to share.

Here's Tom giving a nice concept to electronic a thorough going over cleaning every little bit bringing it to perfect condition.
