The Leo in N E Illinois Custom Title Thread

[AlainK]

I've always appreciated Leo's posts and comments. Always polite, full of useful info, experienced etc.

I didn't participate in choosing a title. To me, "Leo" was OK. "Professor" is good too, it shows how esteemed he is for both his quality as a bonsai grower and an individual.

Yes
Leo doesn’t need a title
He is Leo
It doesn’t get any better than that.

Right. But I'm sure Leo appreciates the fact that he's recognised as a pillar of this forum - no, as an essential person to share his knowledge with us all.

Leo has a willingness to answer the most simple of questions for beginners as well, that most would roll their eyes at. He can flex from simple for beginners to complex for experienced. A breadth of knowledge. I have appreciated his wisdom, especially when reviewing my early days comments and questions that DESERVED eye rolls! Cheers to 10k.

Congrats Leo!! Always very useful and insightful posts from you. Something always I learn!

In the Milwaukee Bonsai Society, he is known [respectfully] as “Leo, the Walking Encyclopedia of Horticulture”.
I could definitely roll with ‘The Professor’ as an honorific.

I was looking for the words to say just this Brad. The Professor is directly responsible for me sticking around here for so long

And, he is just as nice in person. We met up at a Bonsai show a few years back. He took me around and introduced me to people and vendors he knew, very gracious. He has family not far from me, hopefully the stars will align and he can stop by for a visit and dinner.

I been talking with @WSJIII about meeting half way in Lincoln,Il. Only about 2 hours each way.

But we should consider a yearly SOIL meetup.
Southern Il.

Get that smoker going!

The Essential Leo.

I absolutely love this.
How very appropriate.

In my short time here I've learned to pay attention to Leo's posts. I might even want to go back and read it a second or third time just incase I missed something.

When the professor is speaking I'm listening.
