When I talked to WonderWoman today, I mentioned yesterday's blog, here. She and a few other had mentioned that they liked the stories. I am in the process of trying to write a 3-5 minute talk

for  Demura Sensei's conferment ceremony next Wednesday.

To help I am looking through files and photos. 

I found this photo of a former student Cole, circa 2006,
and I remembered the story behind the photo.

He had been awarded a stripe for his purple belt 

after his second class. Just a 8" white grosgrain ribbon, 

but so important to the students as it signified advancement. 

We had the policy that the recipient should sew his stripe on.

Cole asked for thread and a needle and spent 35 minutes.

 His first time sewing anything. 

Afterwards I found him sleeping and got this photo. 
I love old photos.

Just because ...
