Dear friends,
Just a few words to congratulation you for your web site and, 
most important to me, because it is a helpful place.  My name 
is Luis Crespo and I have been on martial arts for almost 
21 years, 12 of those years as an aikido practitioner. The 
reason I am writing you is because of the article by 
Dennis Hooker Sensei called Healing the Spirit – Healing the Body:
As you may now, on 11th March my city, Madrid, suffered a 
terrible attack by international Al Qaeda terrorism, 
just like NY City two years ago. Because of it, one of my 
partners and pupil has loosened a leg so he has to deal with 
a lot of suffering. I have sent him a translation of the article 
above mentioned on the hope that the words by Saotome Shihan and 
Hooker Sensei would throw some light and hope on him and his 
family. I want to express you my deepest thanks for those words 
on his name and mine.

Yours faithfully, LUIS CRESPO
