The Early Days of Sid Campbell

These photos were taken by Dave Sudmeier, one of the earliest students of Sid Campbell in 1969.  After learning of Hanshi Campbell's passing away, Dave was kind enough to e-mail these photos to Kyoshi Sid Rayford and gave permission to post them on this web site.  THANK YOU DAVE! 

The Photo Below is a rare photo of brothers Eddie and Sid Campbell side by side.
