Hello -

I haven't been around in a long time, but something made me check in. I scoped out Renegade's website, and really loved the tribute pages to Professor. The photos really brought a lot of memories back...

Are any of the old school knuckleheads that trained above the styrofoam plant still here? O'Grady, Harris, Rogers, Milazzo, Primo (like Prince and Madonna, he is known by one name)? Drop a line here!

Hey Tim!

Hope your latest shindig went well! I'll send a PM, so this doesn't bore everyone on the site.

We're not bored! How's life in the sunshine?

 

[BigPug]

Life's good out here Arnisador... Trying to figure out a good time to go back and visit my old haunts. I was surprised but just kicking around Tim's site, I realized what a great bunch of friends I had at that school.

 

[Datu Tim Hartman]

Hey Paul -

Not yet. I got into investment banking, and I am getting married in October. I'll be going next year though!

I am still in Michigan as well.

How's the family? Job? Doing any training out there in California?

:ultracool

Kevin!!
It has been way to long... Ya know, it's funny but I've been thinking a lot about the old school recently (not that I am not training with Tim, just that among the list of people you listed sadly I'm the only student left). Maybe a reunion is in order sometime soon. All's well here; 1 more year and I'll be an officially licenced friendly neighborhood drug dealer.
What's new? How's Ida doing? I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Keep us updated!! Let me know when you're in town.

 

[BigPug]

That's great Mike! I'm glad all your hard work is paying off. Are you going to stay in Buffalo? I'd love to have some kind of reunion. We were back in town for Christmas, but only 3 days. By the time we saw our whole family, we were getting back on a plane. Everything is great here, though.

Paul - I haven't been training at all, work doesn't leave a whole lot of time for that. I lift and run a little, and if my back heals up, I may go back to BJJ. There are a few FMA schools out here, so I sometimes think stopping in, but I can't commit to any regular schedule. I'm talking to a buddy of mine from work, he may want to learn a little Modern Arnis. At least I would have a training partner.

Hey Kevin,

How are you buddy ?

Nice to see the avitar. Is it a recent photo of you ? I think you're getting better looking :uhyeah: :uhyeah: :uhyeah:

Life in Buffalo has been crazy. I'm like you, I haven't had time to commit to anything lately. I did drop by to hang out with Tim yesterday for the first time in a long time.

How's the ocean life ?

Tell Ida my wife misses her walking partner.
