Visiting black belts

In the last two weeks we've been visited by some of our old friends. It was a nice surprise to see Keith Wadsworth and Alicia Martorelli come over to attend our grand opening on May 30. After the event we had a chance to have lunch and catch up.
This past week two of my black belts who moved away came back to town to see friends and family. Ozzie Rivero, who was one of the first to start at my Ft. Myers studio and got his black there, dropped in. Oz is now the coordinator for the University of Chicago hospital organ transplant program. Oz is the guy with the Igloo cooler at times.
Steve Catapano left Ft. Myers in 1999. He and his wife Leigh had dinner with myself, Jan and Bill Damewood. The couple is expecting twins. Steve looks the same and he's been working for the L-3 corporation as an engineer. He did some work for NASA and he's involved with the space program. His wife says they don't talk about their jobs. Steve's son, Stevie, just graduated from high school here, which is what brought them down.
It was really good to see them all and to know they're all doing well.
