- 2005, Chris Ballard, The Butterfly Hunter, Broadway Books, →ISBN, page 52:
- Even among ocularists, a close-knit community filled with many second and third-generation practitioners, he stands out. Not only because he's one of the most accomplished (though he is) and he makes all manner of unusual eyes for horses, dogs, and prisoners (though he does); but also because he is a fifth-generation ocularist (one of his distant relatives made the first glass eye).
