From Bob Moorman's brother. . .

George:

Many years ago, back in the 60's, a troubled young man happened into your path and you took him in, gave him a place to stay and offered him Karate training; this person went on to become a black belt and opened a school on the West Coast in Encinitas, California-where you used to visit to certify black belt candidates.

This young man was my brother Robert Moorman, or affectionately known as "Bob".

Bob passed away about a dozen years ago, leaving behind a son, Ananda, who continues to live in Encinitas.

I wanted to bring up Bob's memory to you and to express my enduring appreciation for the profound influence you had on his life.

I can see from your e-mails that you remain the warrior that I remember, even as you and I both enter a period at least beyond three score and ten.

I invite you to put some of this in your newsletter.

And again, thank you Peaceful Warrior George.
