Cassian, I would consider that an invaluable piece of literature. It appears written late in his life with difficulty to wield the pen. I also have a hand written letter from Al from a replied fax. I have a signed copy( David, touch trees)of every book and pamphlet and video he ever put out. I have one of the first copies of A New Tree Biology without the addendum of this first book he published with a written thank you note for purchasing a first copy. He sent the addendum later so he could get it out and make some money. Al never had a problem with us making deserved money.

I attended his Boone NC week long seminar with only 30 students, all with microscopes, and one night went out to dinner with he and Charley Owen, his best friend, with only 4 other guys. I feel blessed through all of this. I have taken many walks through the woods with him and his mycor-riser (shovel).

Yes, the early threats were the tree paint guys, then the flush cut guys, and then the heart rot guys, etc., etc.. He would have kicked their asses if they ever stood in front of him. They could only muster the nerve to snipe at him.
