Happy Birthday to my brother and friend and most of all a true inspiration. A guy that gets up every single day and gets after all that that makes a man great at what he does. Always a thinker, an innovator, a sketcher, but most of all a true artist. Without thinking, and by example, a teacher, a mentor, and always a calm and collected presence. Warm and good. An applied student of the old ways. The old ones. Always mysteriously wandering somewhere in the aura of past where "they" once were...
A man who is fast approaching legendary status. I recently wrote to a prospective Barranti Leather customer that there would never be enough of "Doc's" works to go around. If not yet a legend, then at least a luminary. A light for the faithful so that we might keep our way. Still, to be a "Legend" one must have a "Legacy". Never one to leave any detail unattended there remains his son, the student, the star on the horizon. His works already please even that most meticulous eye of the discriminating patriarch.
So, my best to you Mike. Now and forever.
