I just got word that Tracy McCallum died.
Will be adding more to his cuke page tomorrow or making a new one.
He was a good friend of Tim Buckley. I first met him in 1967 at Tassajara where he went to visit Tim and check the place out. He was married to early Shurnyu Suzuki student Fran Keller. They lived in Taos. There he studied with Pat Hawk of the Mt. Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe.
In recent years he's practiced with the NO (North Olympic) Sangha in Port Angeles, WA. (Diamond Sangha/Robert Aitken lineage)
from Tracy's page in Narrative Magazine:where there's a link to a story he wrote.
Tracy McCallum is the author of the poetry collection Fast Associations, winner of the Plumbers Ink Poetry Prize. He served as a librarian in Taos, New Mexico, for twenty-four years and lives in Port Angeles, Washington, where he also paints and turns wooden bowls.
