Ed Meghreblian is an 86-year-old woodworker who spent his life coaching inner city kids. Now, the Encino man uses the same care shaping wood as he did the teenagers' lives. This audio story with photographs is a profile on the man whose love for his craft, his past and his wife shines through his voice, just as the wood grain shines through each piece of furniture he creates.
