I am a japanese retired (Yamaha Motor Co.Ltd.,) engineer. I tried to ,Japanese translation the Internal Fire(3rd. edition). I visted to Portland of Wilsonville April 2004, and met Jr.Cummins,C.Lyle to publish this book. We make a commitment to publish this Japanese edition sometime in the near futere. However, I am busy at the office upward, and never forget commitment and make a proofreading. I retired a company a few years, and want to make a contact with author. Jr.Cummins,C.Lyle passed away on Jan.29, 2023. I want to contact with this literary property and make contractual.
