I started woodworking in the late '70's, and was totally inspired by the 1980 article in Fine Woodworking. I started my own shop soon after, and have continued since then, with 'Sam's' philosophy in my heart. I was honored to meet with him twice. The first time was in 1988, I went with my wife to the L.A. area, and on a whim called him and asked if I could visit with him. As busy as he was, he still graciously invited me over and talked with me for a couple of hours, let me walk through his house and shop, and take pictures. I was also able to meet his wonderful wife Freda. I will always cherish that time and hope to continue woodworking as he would. He will always continue to inspire me and many others. To his family and friends, as he signed in my book, I wish blessings/peace. Jan
