Gogen Yamaguchi article

[Harry Cook]

Gentlemen, could anyone help me by supplying the publication details of an article on Gogen Yamaguchi. It is called "Emperor of the Empty Hand" and was by Lloyd Williamsen. It was published in Black Belt magazine, probably in the late 1960s and maybe in one of the yearbooks. I need the volume and issue number as well as the month and year of publication if possible.
Thank you in advance,
Harry Cook

Hello Mr. Cook

I saw in some else's work that this article was listed in the footnotes as being from the 1969 yearbook. I've e-mailed your inquiry to a friend who been active in Japanese Goju for a very long time. He may be of help I'll let you know when I hear back from him. Have a nice new year.

Happy New Year (if a little belated).
