This past weekend we celebrated one of our best friends birthday.
Our friend has a very unique career - a lost art these days as a shoe repairman or a 'Cobbler'. He started watching his Grandfather in the shoe shop at a very young age. At 10 he began shining shoes and at 14 his career of repairing shoes started. After school and weekends until the end of high school you could always find him following in his Grandfather's footsteps. And today, as he just turned 67 he's still enjoying this trade and the satisfaction it brings to make his customers happy with repairing their 'Favorite Shoes'.
Finding an image to depict our friend and his craft wasn't easy but this one is pretty close. Plus the sentiment is perfect for his birthday!
