When my brothers and I were children there was an old man named Billie who lived at the end of our street. His wife had died and he was a very miserly man. He too smoked a pipe and used the cheapest tobacco possible. Sometimes when my mother was baking/cooking she would have us carry something down to Billie. He was actually a very nice man, just cheap. He always wanted us to come in and stay as he was very lonely. We usually did, because he had a collection of old wind up toys that he would let us play with, but we never stayed very long.

Every year at Halloween kids used to egg his house because he refused to buy candy to pass out to the trick or treaters. One year my mother convinced him to get some candy and my brothers and I were instructed to be sure and stop at Billie's house, which we did. He had bought a bag of candy corn, the cheapest thing he could find, and had put a few kernels in little brown paper sacks to pass out to the kids. He had set aside separate bags for us and had actually put in about five pennies for each of us, which was huge for him and really shocked us. But what I remember is how stale and dry that candy corn was and how it smelled of tobacco. We had to throw it away. He died a few years later. The people who bought his house must of had a terrible time getting rid of that tobacco smell.

Love how you kept the car all these years. Wish I still had my first car.
