John Clarke Mason interview

 I looked into this 2004 interview with John Clarke Mason who we called Clark because he was the first mechanic at Tassajara and I wanted to mention him in a piece I'm working on for Tassajara Stories. Anyway, I couldn't stop reading the whole interview. That last part is him talking about how the SFZC should make more than two of Shunryu Suzuki lectures available. Five years later they started going up on shunryusuzuki.com and then we supplied the SFZC with the digital files ready to upload and they started doing it.
