POWELL, ROGERS & SPEAKS May 10, 1996 David Evseeff Dear Mr. Evseeff: This office represents Harry G. Smith in matters concerning but not limited to pictures from Okinawa of his and the accuracy of information about Harry G. Smith regarding his karate instruction by Tatsuo Shimabukuro for any and all publications. I have read your publication Isshinryu: The History & Evolution of the "One -Heart Way" and I was appalled by the inaccuracies contained within along with he possible use of pictures belonging to Harry G. Smith. I would expect that for all revisions of this publication you would correct certain inaccurate facts pertaining to Harry G. Smith. I would also expect any pictures published that our client, Harry G. Smith, owns be excluded without the express written consent of Harry G. Smith. We contend some pictures being published today, reportedly belonging to others, actually are the property of Harry G. Smith. We are prepared to take necessary legal recourse to protect our clients rights. |
