About This Item

Grandpa Buddy's Bug

My Grandfather, Samuel "Buddy" Elliott, gave me this keychain several years ago. He passed away in 2000 and I thought this would be a fun way to honor his memory.

He had a rare and special gift. He could meet a total stranger; in the store, in the park, on his daily walks - anywhere - and in a few minutes they would be having a conversation. Even in this age of suspicion, cynicism and rudeness, I never witnessed or had recounted to me a single time he was rebuffed. He had an endless supply of stories, witticisms and jokes. He had a hearty laugh, an operatic tenor singing voice and a round belly. He always needed someplace to go, "I have itchy feet" he always said.

So lets prevent those "itchy feet" and keep Buddy traveling along!

No takers for this bug at the event. This TB will be back on the road by next Sunday. Either to one of three local TB hotels or my C.I.T.O. Event. I also have a funeral to attend in New Braunfels, Tx. (about 200 miles West) but I don't know if I'll have time to do any caching there.
