This afternoon Graham Brown Sensei was laid to rest at the Mt.
Gravatt Cemetery. Over a hunderd people attended his memorial service
from all walks of life. Many remember Graham Sensei fondly from his
time on the mat, whether teaching a few extra little tricks 'in a
conspiracy of two', taking or just attending class. Practicing aikido
until his middle seventies he was an inspiration to many of us on the
mat
I was staggered to learn the extent of his hobbies including fishing,
martial-arts, history, aviation, music, woodwork and gem hunting,
esp. If he was half as accomplished in any of these as he was in
Aikido. Above all he had an active and loving extended family life
and will be missed by many.

goodbye Graham and thanks for all the nikkyos
