Ken Yiesly in his Piping Live! 2008 T-shirt shows off his silver Bagpipes
NWJPB is an extended family. This story celebrates the life and history of NWJPB Grandparents celebrating their 52nd anniversary, and pays a lot of attention to bagpipes, and the experiences of a couple of NWJPB members on our recent trip to the World Pipe Band Championships, 2008. A brief excerpt from the story:
Ken was able to retire from the military shortly after in 1975 and the family was finally able to put down roots.
To mark the occasion, Mieko bought him a set of silver bagpipes, his favorite instrument since childhood.
“That’s all he wanted, the nut,” Mieko said. “But he’s my nut.”
Congratulations to Ken and Mieko on your 52 years!
