Don Blair

[Old Monkey]

Is going to be a speaker at our next horticulture expo. He's going discuss Eucmen and Oakmen, the history of tree climbing and some other topics. I am pretty excited about. I've never met Blair or seen a presentation by him. He's been such an innovator in our field.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Blair is a cool guy. I've met him several times over the years and he's always fun to talk to.

 

[pete mctree]

Lucky man. I wish I had the opertunity. I hope you enjoy it Darin

 

[Mr. Sir]

I'm an oakman with some strong eucman tendencies.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I really enjoyed reading Arborist Equipment.

 

[Altissimus]

... he was the guy with brand new Wescos in the "Legends of Aboriculture" video ...

 

[Underwor]

You will enjoy it! I have heard him speak and visited with him on many occasions. The last one I think was at one of Alex Shigo's workshops in Portsmouth, NH.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Wow, Shigo and Blair together. Like having a GTG with God and Jesus.

 

[PCTREE]

Wouldnt that be a given as they are 1???

 

[pantheraba]

Hahaha...good one. How about a GTG with Burnham and Berank? Oh....we already had that!!! (and I was THERE!!)

 

[sotc]

Once...

Ive met Blair. Wasn't really impressed at all. I actually thought he was a pompous ass.

 

[Old Monkey]

What, you didn't kiss his ring?

 

[cory]

I wasn't impressed either. He spoke at a CT tree meeting. The whole eucman/oakman thing didn't seem real profound or compelling to me. He seems quite taken by the fact his father started doing treework before most anyone else.

 

[chris_girard]

Don's a good guy and really has done a lot for our industry.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Ive met Blair. Wasn't really impressed at all. I actually thought he was a pompous ass.

haha, aren't we all?

 

[MasterBlaster]

His book was alright. Gerry's was way better!

 

[tophopper]

haha, aren't we all?

Speak for yourself. I believe Im a modest man. Blair talks himself up and strokes his own ego in front of everyone. I dunno about you, but I don't care to see anyone suck themself off.
