Sufi Sam

Thanks to Leon Mello for pointing out that the man on the right of this photo is Samuel L. Lewis, AKA Sufi Sam. This is photo SR0171from the Shunryu Suzuki photo archive. Here's a link to it there with what names we have. Sam's isn't there yet. It will be in a few days. (fixed that link. Thanks AM)

Suzuki met Sam Lewis in his early days in America. Lewis' name is one of the few entries in a date book he brought on the plane with him when he first flew in.
