As I recall your first desk was honed by grandpa. I remember down the basement seeing him working tirelessly on that desk. I remember it in your room on Stevens and how you kept it so neatly stocked. It's now at my house in Florida having been used by many, but it has a history; grandpa lives on.camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818699347051816863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-11332443309356346142011-01-04T13:55:19.089-05:002011-01-04T13:55:19.089-05:00Looks like some sort of torture device!
