Same here. I first met Guro Roland inLas Vegas. We were crossing paths and only had a couple of hours in the airport to meet and talk. They went far to fast. He treated me like younger brother. We met again in 2006 in the Philippines. Again, too short of a time.I only met Mr Dantes twice, but he left me feeling that I knew him as an old friend. He was truly an ambassador of the art.
Rest in peace Roland!
