In Memory
This book is dedicated in memory of my mother,
Kei Tamura (1932-1996),
a beautiful, loving soul, who continues
to be an angel to many,
and
my beloved friend and teacher,
Lewis S. Bostwick (1918—1995),
an enlightened being who left an immeasurable gift to us all.
I am forever grateful. Without either of you,
I wouldn’t have had the chance.
