Hello My name is John Smith from Olean, New York. I am 55 years old so please take it easy on me. :)

If you are not sure where Olean is ?

It is in Upstate New York right next door to Erie, Pennsylvania.

I took judo and some karate in the U.S. Air Force in 1974.

I was still in basic training when the Vietnam War ended.

I got out of the air force in 1979 with the rank of E-4.

My son is currently in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany.

My daughter is in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Texas.

I am married happily to my wife of 37 years with three grandchildren and one more on the way. :)

Welcome aboard, sir. Take a stroll about and find a chair you like, put your feet up and shoot the breeze.

OK you young whipper snappers quit bragging about how young you are. I started Kung Fu 20 years ago and I was 43 then. Ah the Castle restaurant used to be one of the top 10 on the nation. Is it still in business in Olean?

Regards, Don
