Hi Terry:
Could you forward this to the list? I'm unable to post, for some reason.
Thanks much.

To the list:
It's my sad task to report the death of Liang Tung Tsai, a pioneer of
Taiji in the U.S. yesterday in New Jersey at the age of 102. He passed
away peacefully, and will be greatly missed.

Thanks alot for that I have only just heard of his this sad passing. He I feel he is the singularly most imporatnt figure of modern day Yang style in as far as inspiration is concerned. From his own life and involvement in Taiji and from starting Taiji very late in life he overcame illness and age to master the art and openly help encourage the widening of Taiji to a further audience in America and around the world.

I just received a promo copy of T.T. Liang's biography, a new book from North Atlantic Books titled Steal My Art by Stuart Olson. Looks like a good read.

everyone should read this book. period. I just read it yesterday and was almost moved to tears. I also laughed the entire time i was reading it. It seems that Master Liang was truly a character and also a very wise man.
thanks

I just got my copy of "Steal my art" last week at Borders. Haven't finished it yet but I'm about 3/4 of the way through it.

I agree with Nanking '28, everybody should read this book.
