A legend is lost
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was a privilege to meet Mr. Simmons. It was a deep honor for me. I live in the beautiful city of Charleston and have many opportunities to see his craftsmanship. After I meet him, I bought this book. I am so happy I did. The book is a must for anyone visiting Charleston or for anyone wanting to learn about someone who was the last of his kind. Mr. Simmons passed peacefully recently. I say to him.."You will be missed. Thank you for sharing your gift." I say to his family.."I pray for your lost and will forever remember."
