You welcome.

It is indeed a proud moment - next year my dojo will be 30 years old and I
can remember so distinctly the various trials and tribulations of the years
gone past. Next year we plan on holding a World Cup and Gasshuku to
celebrate ours and just to get all our International members to meet one
another. It is my intention by then to have completed the building of the
dojo at my house which will be the HQ for our organisation.

Children grow so fast and I am sure Kenji must be really big now - Rabia
will be three years old next month, so time certainly flies by even faster.

Sounds good - I had some brief interaction with Antonio and it was
pleasurable not only in interacting with him but all the others that I was
fortunate to spend time with.

Wishing you well. B.t.w. the three of us plan to visit the USA in 2011 (God
willing) and if things go as planned. I certainly want to swing by you then.

It is only a pleasure and the forum has been a great learning tool even
though it has been rather quiet for the past while.
