Unexpected

At a recent class one of my original instructors, Charles Murray, was in the area and stopped by to run the class.

That in itself was unusual but when friends, from as far away as Pennsylvania, original Derry students and other instructors started showing up I realized something was up.


Then Charles presented me with a promotion to Hachi Dan from Tom Lewis.


I did not expect this.

Especially all my friends.




Now I have to work to live up to this.



and the beat goes on
