Bill Lewis

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill Lewis.  He served the CIA for many years, and his leadership will be greatly missed.

Bill taught Judo for +30 years in Vernon, took up iaido at the age of 67 or 68, and started the Vernon Iaido Dojo.

For those of us who got to know Bill and his wife Shirley … we are all the better for their friendship.
