bushido_man96 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Rip Joe Lewis. I didn't realize he had cancer. My instructor was lucky enough to meet him, and they have a photo together at the school. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
