Good to be reminded about the Valley Zendo in Claremont - that's a link to a Facebook page with a bit about it and the priest there, Eishin Ikeda, and some photos. Shohaku Okumura mentioned it in his Cuke podcast. It's where he got started in America. Antaiji Soto Zen lineage. Here's the Valley Zendo link. And a photo of Hideko Petchey with Eishin Ikeda. Thanks to John Seto who went there with Hideko for posting this.
