L.A. Show   March 2004

---

Steve Johnson and Robert Vance opening the show I placed my note book on a chair with a little slide show about the European Pipe & Tobacco Show Cuxhaven / August 2004

I am prepared for swapping and trading

Philip Thompson (blue shirt) at the Uptowns table

Lee Corwin from L.A. (85 years old and still every day busy in his office) at John Tolle´s table

Of course I bought a fetish again from my friend Gary Bartell (right) for my Regina. Left from him his son, Ray Espinoza, and Lee Corwin

Young ladies also interested in pipe smoking

On the banquet after the show: Left from me Rick Newcombe, on the right Philip from Uptowns

Left to right: Philip from Uptowns, ?, Lalo Schifrin, and Steve Ross from Pipe & Tobacco Magazine

In the middle : Gary Yovan, right Joel Farr, left Steve Ross. Without Gary I would have gone lost in Hollywood ! He picked me up from the airport and took care of me all the time until I left again. He showed me all interesting places in Hollywood and we made a trip to Phoenix and Sun City West, AZ. In all that were more than 1000 miles !
