I think that among all the very bright authors Ed Levin was the one I used most as a reference. Ed's publishing must have began in the seventies with articles in Fine Woodworking and later in Fine Homebuilding that have set the standard for usability and inspiration that continued to the present in Timber Framing and over the web as a correspondent from Poland. I believe Ed has helped make us make ourselves better and will for years to come.

Thank you Ed for a public life of dedicated and devotional work. Ed brings to mind the aphorism: You can count the acorns on an oak tree but you can never count the oaks in an acorn.
