Merle,

Yes, I know Zoketsu Norm Fischer.  He also came to our sangha and Zendo, and 
gave us a talk about ten years ago, around the time that a book of his poems 
was published.  He'd also come back from the Middle East at that time, and told 
us about how a few things were there, soon after 9-11.  I think he's a good 
teacher, but I have not practiced with him, other than to sit 5 feet in front 
of him on a cushion on the floor when he gave us his talk and Q&A session that 
one time.  Some people here have a student-teacher relationship with him and 
see him from time to time.  I'm not up on where he's based at this time.  Still 
near San Francisco?  He's Mel Weitzman's Dharma heir, in Shunryu Suzuki's 
lineage.  Shunryu wrote the great book you must have, ZEN MIND, BEGINNER'S 
MIND.  Norm Fischer has several books out there, too.

Be well,

--Joe
