I've worked in shoemaking since 1988. I learned from my mother and passed what I could on to 1,100 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I carry a notebook everywhere.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

What gifts mean to Henry: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
