The above posting is wrong. Al Strano was National Brand Manager of Walley Frank Ltd. He died March 1, 1998. After he left Wally Frank he did a number of other things including real estate sales before buying Hildebrandts, a eating establishment in 1974(?). It is still owned by his family and has been the subject of articles in the New York Times among others. It is renowned for its chocolate and ice cream. I don't remember my brother Al ever repairing , much less making a pipe. | The above posting is wrong. Al Strano was National Brand Manager of Walley Frank Ltd. He died March 1, 1998.

The information about my brother Joe is correct except he is Al's older brother. He owned Northampton and was known for his pipe repairs and pipe making skills.
