Ladies of ’65 at Alfonzo’s

The Ladies of ’65 met again on Monday at Alfonzo’s Pizzeria in Troy for their monthly get-together. They look like they all had a great time, and I’m sure some were discussing plans for the big Christmas gathering next month. Now is the time to contact Joyce and get all the details – I know they’ll be glad to see you!

Sensei Fred Christian – 50th Karate Anniversary

Classmate Fred Christian was honored today as 8th Dan and highest ranking American in the World Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do Association.  And he is celebrating his 50th karate anniversary.
I will not pretend to know what I’m talking about here – karate-do is not something I am familiar with. But I can certainly relate to a 50-year celebration – and that is AWESOME!
Congratulations Fred, your dedication to the sport is astounding!
