HI! I'm Kurt Simmons from St. Louis Missouri, USA.
I started pipe smoking as a preteen (behind the school house so to speak. Stopped some years ago and just took it back up in time for the politicians to make it very uncomfortable for me to enjoy smoking.

I'm an aerospace engineer cum rocket scientist nearing retirement.
