Maybe you can connect with some knowledgeable people in the USA. I'm thinking, for instance, of Dr He Young Kimm who wrote a book on TKD history. You might be able to reach him through his website.

I tested 3 times under General Choi who was impressed at the skills I was taught from Mr Lee. At that point I was terrible to mediocre at all sports until I tried Tae Kwon Do. IN 5 and one half years (this was not a belt factory) at 16 I tested with great score's for my black belt in which I also received my first Dan that day. 3 year's later tested under General Choi at 19 for my second stripe. Today I still practice and hold a third Dan. Unfortunately there is no longer any information about the Oriental sports training center in New Haven or Milford Ct or anything about Mr Lee. Why did it just disappear from the internet?
