Vince Nistico, Kevin Greene. Kevin Greene was a teenage prodigy in Shotokan who trained at Central with Nishiyama, attained 3rd degree, returned to Oregon and became a state police officer (!). We haven't seen him in many years. He ran the Riverside Grange dojo between Albany and Corvallis for a few years in the early eighties, before my time.
