My grandfather, the eldest in the Long sept, has been very ill for quite a time. I went to visit him a few days ago and mentioned St. Andrew's Day and he told me he wanted me to come and play the pipes for him. I put on my kilt and I went to his place before classes this morning with my smallpipes. He was laying in bed and asked for some music. I played a few tunes, and when I was finished he had slipped away. The Honorable Joseph Richard Long, Esq. 87 years old, married to his only wife for 65 years.
