I couldn't provide a list of the folks that have inspired, helped and spurred me along the bonsai trail. It would be a very long one.
However, Vance Wood, Vance Hanna, Brent Walston are still my heroes
. They are pioneers for bonsai on the Internet.
"Newer"
posters like John Dixon, Fish, Will, Candy, Poots, Joanie and others have also opened my eyes to alot of things I hadn't given much thought to. They are also inspirations for me and push me to think.
