I remember that every time I told him how amazed I was at something he made, he would tell me that I could do it too. He taught me a number of things in life as well, including the principle of self enablement. <br /><br />Birk will be sorely missed by me, my boys and all the people I brought trampling through his shop.<br /><br />Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212509295653371680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017411595042236007.post-52343558147642436872015-11-30T13:12:24.797-08:002015-11-30T13:12:24.797-08:00Sadly, I never found Birk's Blog until after h...Sadly, I never found Birk's Blog until after he had passed away. There are many years of blog postings here, and I will be checking in to peruse them. It would be a nice tribute if there were some way to preserve the entire blog for others to read in the future.<br /><br />God Speed Birk<br /><br />Paul SperbeckAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970145506753649515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017411595042236007.post-51432469114386064172015-11-30T13:01:14.835-08:002015-11-30T13:01:14.835-08:00Dale and I loved talking with Birk, visiting his a...Dale and I loved talking with Birk, visiting his amazing collection and emailing back and forth.
