Dear Jun,
I was in San Diego training at San Diego Aikikai. San Diego can be a warm place, however darkness and a sudden chill comes unexpectedly and can catch you unawares.Anyway I was with Chiba Sensei and I was clad in a light tee shirt and pants,I was dressed for warm weather.
As I was about to leave Sensei s house Chiba Sensei noticed I was shivering,He goes to his wardrobe and gets me a jacket,saying ;Here , wear this '.I put on said jacket, boy was I glad he gave me this jacket.I said my thank yous to him.Next day I went to see him to return his jacket,He says to me ;Keep it , it looks good on you'.By now dear readers you will know what jacket he gave me.It is the brown pigskin jacket in the video. I treasure this garment which hangs in my wardrobe.Once again Chiba Sensei displayed generosity and kindness to me.I will always treasure that gift he gave me. Cheers, Joe
