Looking for old instructors....

[Balrog]

Does anyone know where these folks are nowadays?

Johnny Wooley - was a 1st Degree Black Belt with the University of Texas Karate Club in 1966 in Austin, TX. My very first TKD instructor.

Mike Uselton - was a 4th Degree in the early 70s, ran the Texas Taekwondo Institute at Rundberg and I-35 in Austin, TX.

I remember Mike, he was a great guy and down to earth. I heard he retired in the late 90's due to health reasons. I do not know if that is true but it was around the circuit for a while that he got sick and retired.

As far John Wooley I thought he had his own place teaching still down in south Texas.

Thanks! I can't find anything recent on either of them; my Google-fu is weak and I appreciate the help.

I'm gonna bump this one time to see if any of the newcomers to the board might know something.

Shoot when I seen the topic line I thought he was talking about me?

Nah, if I wanted an "old" instructor, I'd just look in the mirror. :lol:

Master Mike Uselton passed away from leukemia based on an internet article I read a few years ago while searching for him.

He was my 1st TKD instructor in 1974 when I was 14. I received my Black Belt from Master Jose Santamaria in 2006.

Please reply as I would enjoy discussing with you further should you wish.
