Especially the bagpipe. Our father played the bagpipe and was a grade one pipe major of several bands, said Kay Fischer, Albert Rowes sister, during a recent visit here from Cincinnati.

He taught his son, Albert Frank, to play by the time the lad was 12. That was 62 years ago, said Dennis Rowe, one of Alberts sons.
