I love this story.

One doesn't want to fall all over oneself fawning, but really delightful. In the tradition of a British eccentric this guy is gold, sweet and out on the edges of a reality many of us can profoundly celebrate. We need so many more of him in some form or another.

My god, the homogeny of so much of the present world we live in simply doesn't do justice to the soul and curious work of this man.

Only one thing to say: Beautiful.

Fantastic story. Moving and inspiring.

Herbert is a wonderful man with his own visions; even though he is now blind. I have been working with him for years trying to sell his Utah real estate, and he is delightful! Janie Tuft

Mr. Steiner was my third grade teacher - at a time when few men taught elementary school. What a wonderful reminder of an influential person! Thank you.

Please wait...
