Hear, hear!  My Laurel never gave me a belt.  He and I figured this bond was
between us and anyone who asked.  Now, I frequently wear his castoff
clothing, and anyone who knew him will recognize them.  When I don them, I
am reminded of his teachings and the thoughts he made known to me, and I try
to act accordingly.  I guess it serves the purpose...
