Part One: Herb Gustafson

I am new to the art of bonsai, but I'm learning a lot.  Mostly by reading a lot of really good books on the subject, and a little by doing.  This lens will be about one of the authors of these books that I have come to enjoy so much.  Not a full biography, just a little info about him and his books.  I wasn't born knowing how to create nice bonsai, but with the help of these books, I can do it...and so can you...and you...and you over there in the corner.  I intend to do lenses on a few other bonsai artists after this one.
