All,

I received wonderful news. I was selected to attend the National War
College in Washington, DC starting in August of this year. Its a
prestigious one year Master's program in International Affairs taught
at Fort McNair in downtown DC. Joanne and I will be departing Alaska
in July and move back to this area. I believe we will be here in the
area for the next 4-5 years before looking to do another overseas
assignment. It will be great to re-establish yourselves, our dojo and
reconnect with all of our friends and students again.

Look out for our traveling road show as we drive back from Alaska. We
will be stopping in a few places along the way to teach seminars and
visit with friends.

Cheers, Phil
