Fred J. Hanna

Fred was born in Toledo, Ohio (USA), and is Professor of Counseling and Director of the School of Applied Psychology and Counselor Education at the University of Northern Colorado. Fred's grandparents were born in Lebanon before they traveled to America at the beginning of the 20th century, so he proudly describes himself as having "100% Lebanese blood." The pleasure, enjoyment, and relaxation that come with pipesmoking are added to the hobby of collecting pipes but, as Fred says, "being involved in the worldwide community of pipe smokers and collectors" is really what pipesmoking is all about. A lover of English blends and Virginias, Fred is also heavily involved in sharing his passion with others: his numerous articles on the subject of pipes, pipe smoking, and pipe collecting can be found in Pipes & Tobaccos and in The Pipe Collector.
