  1. Hi, Jim,
    I am saddened to learn of this turn of events, as I have immensely enjoyed your Web site and your devotion to Peterson of Dublin. I shall ever be grateful for the camaraderie that we and our fellow Peterson devotees have shared over the past few years. I shall treasure the archives of your Web site — including the post recounting my poem's inclusion in the Peterson Museum — and the forthcoming Peterson Chronicles, as mementos of our excursions into the wondrous world of Peterson. I wish you well in this transition. You will be missed. Thanks again for sharing your passion for Peterson of Dublin with your fellow fanatics. God bless you!

  3. I have popped in and out of your blog, but just today I went onto the home page. I am deeply grateful to all of your amazing work on this blog; it reads as a labor of love. I wish you well as you enter your next phase - you have become part of the Peterson world, you are appreciated and you will be missed.

  4. Alas, it seems I may have started my pipe habit too late. Jim, your site has been a much used resource in my new found hobby. Thank you for all of your work and dedication. I am 50 now and I have only been smoking pipes since October of 2012, however I have expanded my collection to about 200 pipes already, of them about 25 are Peterson's and my crown jewel...so far...is a Royal Irish 03. Thanks to your contribution to the piper.
