We have had a lot of folks come and go since 2017, so many may not be aware of the B&B tradition since then of skipping the issuance of Pipe #20 in remembrance of @bryant.
For those who are unaware, bryant was a very active member of the Brown Leaf.
In 2017 he received #20 of the B&B 2017 BL LE pipe.
Sadly a week later, his wife contacted B&B to inform us that he had passed away as a result of a traffic accident just 5 days after he received the 2017 B&B LE Pipe.
Since then, #20 has been skipped when the LE pipe has been ordered in his memory.
If I may be so bold, I am suggesting that as it is difficult to track down exact numbers ordered by past members, and the diminishing number of pipes which would be available if we did the same for each B&B Brown Leaf denizen who was loved and will be missed, may we discuss the option of having B&B LE Pipe #20 represent our beloved members who are no longer with us?
If so, this year the skipping of #20 pipe would represent @bryant and @Mike H
I suggest this not to diminish the memory of bryant at all, but to say that he is joined in our hearts and prayers by others like him.
I think he would have been honored, not disappointed to have had the pipe which came to be known as the B&B Brown Leaf Limited Edition Memorial number.
Your thoughts gents?
