THROWBACK THURSDAY ...

 (NO 2GN2S  today due to the length of this one)

The evening of Friday, May 27, 2016

Genbu-Kai Honbu Dojo, Santa Ana, CA


As mentioned earlier (here)we finally faced the inevitable and gathered together to celebrate 
the home we will soon lose. 





A humble structure by the world's view, but our home.






Starting at 6:30 instead of the planned 7PM, 
a big group gathered before the last class 
for stories & shared memories.
Then a crowded class, well organized.










Michelle Kim and I had dueling cameras. 
Lots of cameras and 
even videos ...


I tried to get everyone, but I am sure I missed some and I do apologize. I push my camera in their face for  a close-up, ready or not.This always makes 
me very popular!

After midnight, some are still not ready to leave, "the stragglers"!



Thank you Demura Sensei ...
without you it's just a building.
We will follow you wherever you take us.

I have this image in my mind how you come up with your titles for your work. You always hit it right on. :-)

Uncertainty is a hard situation or feeling? Should you feel happy or worried? You can't make plans, don't know for what you should be prepared or what will come. I think, that's what the people in the Ukraine feel.
Wishing you a fine evening, Jacki!
