Hi, Sensei. Congratulation Hanshi. My youngest son at
the Pentagon who is also a
Isshin-Ryu practioner informed me of your site. I was
never able to thank you for all that you've done for me. I lost track of
your whereabouts. In all probabilities you do not remember me. Joe
Burgess and I were former students of yours and Mel Sutphin. However, I
always considered you to be my primary instructor. I fondly recall the
many tournaments that I entered knowing very little, yet gaining
additional knowledge and insight after every tournament. I recall that
you instilled in us that Karate was an ongoing experience. Therefore,
every weekend my garage became a workout site for
Joe and I. On a few occasions my neighbors called the
cops in the mistaken belief
that someone was in danger. I was recently discharged
from the hospital. My doctors were amazed by my speedy recovery. The
above I believe is due to my Martial-Arts training. Ed McGrath thank you
for the fond memories/opportunities as well as your
unwavering support and patience you had with me.
Charles Russell, Former Marine/Student
