This was almost 9 years before I wrote this one again but Ron is one of the first dan who worked with me again after my stroke and when Shihan Henry Smith was still alive. I can talk and write again. (I started doing my bokken right away and now I am doing my sword Sundays once more!!! Shihan Henry Smith is no longer alive but he always wanted his aikido to grow and I believe he is happy. Seven days of aikido. Sword, jo...enough dan that we all can not test every week...and everyone still is friendly. Once I am driving longer again then I will see many of you at your dojos once more .
