QUERY> Looking for William Brown

[Posted on behalf of Ken Tanaka]

Dear Colleagues

We are looking to make contact with a Dr. William Brown (Brooklyn, New York), who formerly worked at Brooklyn College. He had been involved in the translation of one of our texts, Daijo-genron 大乗玄論 (Taisho 1853).　He was connected to Mr. C.T. Shen of Port Lee, New Jersey. 

We would very much appreciate it if you could inform me should you have any leads toward us locating Dr. William Brown. 

Sincerely yours,

Kenneth K. Tanaka (kktanaka@gamma.ocn.ne.jp)
Chair, Editorial Committee
