I moved to the USA from Canada on 4th of July 1976, which was a memorable day for many people. But most memorable for me was being welcomed by Marshall Webb. He was a quiet man but his smile and laughter said more than words. He was authentic, clever and the type of person who made others feel at ease. I move into the small house on the water on Shelburne farm where he and Emily spent winters and they moved to the "Big House" in the summer time. I met him and talked with him many times during my six month stay on the farm and will never forget his charm, generosity and smile.He4 was abrilliant, energetic man who truly lived in the way.he beleived as a conservationist and a sustainable farmer and woodsman. We are was saddened to hear of his passing. The world needs more Marsall Webs and he will be missed by many who will try to follow his example.
