One of the byproducts I got when my father died was this totally coolio tool set. Turns out it was one of my father’s most cherished possessions.

Why?

Because this tool set was owned by Paul Robeson. It was given to my grandmother after she worked on his teeth in Russia in the 1930’s.

Notice the P.R. initials.

My grandfather was a famous American Communist. He fought for Sacco-Vanzetti.

Also notice the Rosetta Stone mousepad. My one tourist SWAG I got in London.
