Preserving Bruce Lee's first formal Studio

The Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore, a 501(c)3 non-profit and home of the Seattle Bruce Lee Fan Club is beginning efforts to preserve and purchase the building and studio of Bruce Lee’s first Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in Seattle.

The first formal studio of Martial Artist Bruce Lee has long been recognized by students and historians at 4750 University Way in Seattle and is believed to be one of the last remaining structures where Bruce Lee not only taught his martial arts but where Bruce Lee also lived.

The studio has been listed as the “Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute” and Bruce Lee is considered to be the father of mixed martial arts.

The museum plans to nominate the site for historical preservation with the City of Seattle with the goal to restore the front to as close to the original 1963 martial arts studio with active martial arts classes to honor Bruce Lee’s family, students and legacy.

The museum’s efforts to preserve the studio for posterity so that others can be inspired by what is considered one of the world’s most famous Martial Artists and a global icon who fought for equality.

“When I met Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson in 2007, I found them to be enthusiastic researchers who were energetically pursuing and impartially sifting through the facts about the Maury Island incident.  This book is the result of their efforts.  It presents new evidence and new analysis, and every reader will find it intriguing and informative.”

     — Larry Haapanen, Ph.D, the last UFO investigator for the Fourth Air Force.

Amazon Reader Review, March 17, 2014 - Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson have done a great investigative job into one of the most bizarre, enigmatic, and strange UFO cases around. I have been personally investigating this case for over 40 years now and was very surprised to find information and photographs in their book that I have never seen before. Whatever this classic 1947 case really represents; either a real UFO event, some kind of coverup using UFOs as a foil, or a downright hoax, ... do not pick up the investigation trail yourself without reading this book and adding it to your UFO research library!

This book focuses on the crash site of the B-25 Bomber, a first ever interview with a local who was first on the scene and a newly discovered news photo of the crash site, believed to be the only photo available of the historical crash.  This book brings forth more photos and new information  than ever before on this mystery.

The mystery occurred two weeks before Roswell and involved three facets.  The first facet the story by Harold Dahl of UFOs seen over Maury Island, the second Kenneth Arnold’s sighting of UFOs over Mt. Rainier and the third, the tragic crash of a B-25 Bomber and the deaths of two military intelligence officers.  As the Air Force separated from the Army August 1^st 1947 this was the first crash and fatalities of the Air Force.
