David Chadwick returned to where we come from Monday night in a hospital in Bali, Indonesia, while being treated for cancer. He had been with his wife Katrinka and his son Kelly. Much more will be said of David in coming days. Please email your feelings and memories to share on David's Cuke Archives Memorial Page.
Gya te gya te.
I was going to leave it at that, but I want to say what a pleasure it has been helping David with Cuke Archives for many years. Although his passing was not totally unexpected, it happened much more quickly than we hoped. David was always working on various aspects of the archives. Kelly wrote, "with his characteristic grand spirit, he completed the Tassajara Stories 2 audio book and Freedom Songs, a short book on his time during the Civil Rights Movement the week before departing." A couple of days ago when he was too weak to continue his chemo therapy, he sent me a number of corrections that he wanted to make sure were included in the next volume of Tassajara Stories. So, I think David would be happy if we continue "Preserving the legacy of Shunryu Suzuki and those whose path cross his." -- Peter Ford, email: pf@cuke2.com
