Hi Robert: hope that things are well with you and hope that you and Aruda (Ken Lee) are still doing your weekly jog around Kahala? As for me, I’m down teaching to only two days a week – but the administrative & paper work in running a dojo is still 3 or 4 days with shorter hours! My karate organization, Washington Shotokan Association, is continually growing with the main school in Bellevue and 11 branch locations. After 2 knee surgeries – for both knees and 2 rotator cup operation – for both shoulders – my right knee finally gave out and will be having a complete knee replacement on July 5th. Oh well! I should be out of commission for about 2 -3 weeks before going back to my teaching duties. I’ll be coming back home in December for about 10 days (Dec. 7 – 17) and hope to see some of the classmates! Keep in touch! Thanks for keeping everyone informed! Aloha….Andre’
