Hi Hoosain,
Thank you very much! I am indeed priveledged to be able to teach
consistently and to be able to celebrate my first milestone-the 10
year mark - consistantly without a break. The photo with Antonio
(and Mike Mitchell) was taken in August 2004, when my son was only a
few weeks old. It was wonderful to celebrate the birth of my son with
two of my great friends and brothers in budo. If you look closely at
the photo on the right, I am holding a tiny blue bundle..that is my
son Kenji with his head poking out of the blanket.
I am looking forward to seeing both Mike and Antonio again this
year; it is always great fellowship and training, and I always learn
something new!
I am looking forward to seeing many old friends, and making many new
ones as well.
Thank you for your kind words, and for maintining the forum so that
we can all continue to learn and share with one another.

Sincerely,
Garry Parker
IOGKA Columbus Dojo
