Please click the link and read what Dr. Birch is asking. Anyone who knew him well, or just knew him at all and has a history of his time at the IJF, please go to the site or send comments on the man. He was only one of two judan to be so so recognized by the IJF. He was the president of the IJF when I was competing, but please read it!
Thanks and best wishes to those closest to him. A nice man he was and an early student of TP Legget who past away last year to the month. Folks, time is running out to get something from "the old guys."
