70 years of pipe smoking! I'm more than half way there and I'm still fit as a fiddle! Kinda. :bounce: :cheers:

"He (Russell) soon fell in love with the puritanical, high-minded Alys, who was a graduate of Bryn Mawr College near Philadelphia, and, contrary to his grandmother's wishes, he married her on 13 December 1894. Their marriage began to fall apart in 1901 when it occurred to Russell, while he was out on his bicycle, that he no longer loved her. She asked him if he loved her and he replied that he didn't."

Those were the simplistic days :lol:

DUH!!!!

I figured it out with a lil help.. He was Frank Russell's brother...
Frank was a good feller.

He's the guy who invented the Jack Russell terriers... yeah, that's the ticket.

Caffeine was his greatest vice until he ceased to believe in teapots. 8)

Since there seems to be some confusion about Russell the following is a video from his earlier years...before he started smoking. On second thought maybe this is when he started smoking something
