John Powells Judo

My thoughts:
-Closing the Dojo is an end to long chapter in Mr Powells many adventures in life. I love his admiration and dedication to the sport of Judo, to his military career, and his work at Sinclair. He has touched many people in his life journey, and has many a story to tell. He is great influence and is loved by many, he would give you the shirt off his back to help you out.
-I hope everyone takes time to thank him for all he has done, the effort he put in to buildng the Dojo and sharing his love for the sport. Some of you will move on to another club, another art or activity. Whatever you do remember what (Mr) Sensei Powell tried to instil in your live, respect, love, disipline and attitude. Yet some will let this all pass by like the wind without at the least saying Thank You.
- In closing I would like to say Thank You to everyone I have met thru the Dojo, either by training together, coaching or just talking.

Sensie Powell had breakfast with the recruiters for his 78th birthday, a good time was had by all.

Monday is a holiday...enjoy your extended weekend..you will have to check with Chris or Matt of they are teaching class or let them know if you will not be at class.

Thanks for all who stopped by the car show. We (4240 Lisa Dr.) had a great turnout for only being a second year...cars food family and friends. A big Salute to Ty Hurley and the USA Reserve recruiting station who's effort and contributions made this all possible. Including USO-AMVETS-SPICEY ROOSTER BBQ Co-MASTER GLOSS-STATE FARM INS.

No matter what day it is and you see a Veteran, walk up shake their hand and say "Welcome Home and Thank You for their Service"

"As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars."

Shout out to the Koss Triplets...
