Reflections of a Grandmaster

By Amanda R. Crandall and Clifford C. Crandall Jr.

Grandmaster Crandall told me that at age 76 he doesn't feel old enough or wise enough to have a compilation of his life stories published. "I don't feel worthy. I think I need to be at least 80 or something."

This book isn't meant to capture all of Grandmaster Crandall's philosophies and insights. It is meant to share a little of his history, his personality, and his morals. In deciding what to include in this book I spoke with many of my fellow instructors, all students of Grandmaster Crandall, most of whom have known him for years longer than I. I had to pick from a compilation of stories he has shared with us, that have broadened our perceptions in some way, turned over a stone in our consciousness to unearth new understanding, and touched our lives with "ah-ha " moments. I think his words, humility, wonder for life, and perceptiveness into humankind, is exactly why this book needed to be written.

Ichi Go Ichi E - "One Lifetime, One Meeting". These are stories for today, for next year, for 20 years from now, but each time will be a new perspective of the composition of Grandmaster Crandall's spirit.
