Robert W. Smith Great Warrior, Teacher, & Writer Died.

3 Things that I remember about Robert W. SMith.
1)He laughed with me  when I joined a free beginner's  group at the  Bethesda YMCA.Some of the  senior students were bugged because I was teaching Police, FBI, special forces, and ninjas at the time. He said you got it Dan, we  are all beginners. Hasn't been a good t'ai chi player since Yuang  chung  FU in 1938.


2)He played  the  social networker. He introduced me personally to Ben Lo, WILLIAM C.C.CHEN Ben Fusaro, Warren Conner, AND TALKED ABOUT THE  OLD DAYS with DON DRAEGER.
3)Explained that  war  was just  stupid. From a marine, CIA officer, martial artist, yo know  he  had to have done  some inner  work.Weapons  he said  were a waste economically. If  we  use  them we  are dead, and  if  we don't, they  will rust  away in silos, while the money  could  have  used  for  education, health  care or  for  feeding  the poor. 
He  sure  could  push a noun against a verb!
