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!

My dad (age 79)and I found the travel bug in Charlottetown. It was raining and too cool for the beach so we spent most of the time looking for geocaches (found 3 out of 4). We'll pass this along to the next cache we find or hide.
