Hi Perry,

Love hearing about people who have learned something similar from the family,
especially when it's put a stick in your hand. It just solidifies that a 'stick
is a stick' no matter where you travel.

Sounds like you and I have walked a few of the same roads in our quest for
martial knowledge, and it's nice to meet a comrade. I look forward to chatting
with you more.

Glen
