MEMORIES OF SUZUKI Roshi FROM WIND BELL AND DC FILES

from letters written to Richard Baker, Zen Center, and the Wind Bell, collected by DC in the late nineties while doing research for Crooked Cucumber. In 1973 there was a request in Wind Bell XII for people's memories of Shunryu Suzuki. From these letters, edited stories were published in two issues of the Wind Bell, the first being the 25th anniversary issue. In some cases the source is brief interviews done by Yvonne Rand and maybe some others. She interviewed me as a follow-up to my submission. Many of these stories already appear on cuke.com DC books, and elsewhere. Some of these letters came later. They're not all actual letters. A couple are off the Internet and I'm sure some were just scribbled on a piece of paper and handed to the person(s) putting this together.
