Every time I researched a clay tobacco pipe I thanked Mr. Oswald for making
it all so easy for me. . .

        From Antiquarian Tobacciana Vol.22 No.4. (Winter 2001-2002)

        PASSAGE OF A PREMIER PIPER. On October 28, 2001, Adrian Oswald
passed away
        at the age of 93. Those who recognize his name and contributions
will
        readily admit that he set the standard in clay tobacco pipe
research, His
        loss is a loss for all those who continue to plough and dredge this
field
        of archaeological research.

        It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
