Last week I had the pleasure of reconnecting with one of my Chicago black belts, Peter Boczar. Peter has been living in Hong Kong for the last 14 years and was visiting friends in Miami. He hopped a commuter flight and came over to Ft. Myers for lunch. Jack Nilon and I picked him up and we met Kyle Zwarg and Frank Triolo for lunch. Many lies were told and lots of laugh had. Peter had been to the Olympics, Shanghai, and lots of other interesting places and had stories to tell. I hadn't seen him in about 20 years and it was great to see him again.
This past weekend I was conducting the National Check Pilot Standardization Course for the Civil Air Patrol in Lakeland, FL. It's a yearly school for our pilot examiners and quite a task but came off well. While I was there, right down the road at Disney World they were holding the Disney Martial Arts Festival.
Students from Gulf Coast Kenpo Karate and K. Zwarg's Karate Studio in Cape Coral and Ft. Myers competed. Kyle took a first in freestyle and third in forms as his student Maxx Pollack took a second in forms. Gulf Coast's Mike Squatrito had five students taking places all divisions entered. Congrats to them all!
A former student/assistant instructor, Rebekah Davies, was in town from Seattle for a wedding this week. I had a chance to catch up with her and she's doing great!
