he were alive today I wonder what he’d have to say about these new “fangled” cigarette rolling machines. I used to watch him make his cigarette, it was fun. Of course later in life I realize that they might kill him. He had a leaky heart valve and although he lived through 2 heart stopped failures, the third one took his life at 69 before his | Read More »
