Aloha Tasi,

We would like to thank you for all your efforts to help bring Hawaii FMA out on the forums informing others about the Hawaii eskrimadors. We see that MC Siangco now has a forum dedicted to Pedoy/Derobio and we see that more conversation is going on about the other FMA Schools in Hawaii too. You do truly promote all FMA styles, we here in Hawaii appreciate it . Maybe you can make the tournament in Maui in December, we know its Christmas time if you cannot then for sure we look forward to seeing you again next year. Your Dad looks good at 80, but brah your hair is not so black anymore. Too bad you can't make the Showdown but I understand all the work that you are involved in with the Aloha festival which is now 1 year away. Thanks again for making time for promoting us for we know how precious your time is, have you folks gotten the IRS exempt status number yet? Let us know we could talk to the Senator in D.C.. we see you are in contact with Island Warrior the braddah is on fire. Aloha a hui ho
