Free Cast Iron Give-away contest

This is a tribute cast iron give-away contest in honor of my mom who recently passed away.  I figured people in the Cooking With Fire forums would appreciate the opportunity so that's why I'm posting here. 
 
My Mom was a great cast iron cooker.  Waffles, roasts, you name it, she did it in cast iron.  I remember her cooking bacon in a CI skillet and pouring the bacon grease into a soup can next to the stove.  Time to cook eggs?  Dip into the grease can, let the bacon grease get all happy in the small CI skillet and eggs all around. 
 
Well, that was a looong time ago for that and we've all gotten more healthy in the cooking but Mom still had the cast iron rocking. 
 
This is an open-to-all but hoping Cast Iron Newbies will be jumping in!  She would like the cast iron to go to someone who has no cast iron or not very many cast iron pieces.
 
 
What's on the block is-
an 8" and a 6" skillet-

Thanks for the thoughts and thanks for the guesses.
I "think" there  will be room in the shipping box for a bottle of sauce.   
 
 
 
Hottoddy!  I'm hoping a CI virgin will be the winner, but the chips will fall where they will for the numbers. 
 
My condolences also.
 
That looks to be some very well taken care of cast iron.
