Here is a Message in a Bottle from Earnie Shavers, boxing legend who will be interviewed in an upcoming Legends and Legacies. I met him at the doorway of the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame Awards at the Crowne Plaza LAX, where he, Alfred Urquidez, Martial Arts great Conan Lee and little old me were inducted. The first three were obviously being honored for their martial skills, and I received the Author of the Year award as I signed copies of The Five Principles of Everything, Shidoshi:The Four Ways of the Corpse and The Panda Chronicles alongside Mr. Shavers, prior to the ceremony. A full report will follow soon. For now, here is Mr. Shavers' Message...
