	Poul Ilsted Bech was one of the finest craftsman to ever make a pipe. [[Tom Eltang]] took me to meet Poul at his home/workshop in Svendborg, Denmark around 2001, in the early part of my visiting Europe every year to recruit famous Pipemakers to attend the Chicago Show. Poul never attended University, but was one of the most intelligent persons I have ever known. He was interested in many things, including World War II history, American Blues and Jazz, British sports cars and Motorcycles, red wine, etc. His command of English was impressive and he was a voracious reader. We exchanged letters several times a year on many topics of mutual interest, I would send him books in English on favorite subjects that he could not find in Denmark and he would occasionally send me a pipe. I will miss him dearly.		Poul Ilsted Bech was one of the finest craftsman to ever make a pipe.
