Trying to find my uncle: Troy DeHart

[Josh Oakley]

I've been trying to find, for the past few months, my uncle, Troy deHart. He ran a kendo school in Yucca Valley, CA, but recently his dojo closed. Unfortunately, everything I can find online about him links to the old dojo.

Does anyone know him and how I can get ahold of him? I'd like him to meet his neice-in-law, and I know my mom would like to see him again as well.

For such a specific question regarding Kendo, i'd ask over here http://www.kendo-world.com/forum/index.php someone is bound to know.

I am assuming that High Desert Kendo was Mr deHart's old dojo?

I have found entries for a Troy DeHart running a dojo in LA, could that be him?

 

[Josh Oakley]

Yeah, his was high desert. what's the name of the dojo in LA?

 

[Sukerkin]

Apologies, Josh. I appear to have raised false hopes.

Blame Google for concatenating it's search results and making it appear that Troy DeHart and a dojo in LA were from the same entry when in fact they were from adjacent entries.

Sorry. The website for High Desert still seems active tho: http://www.joshuatreevillage.com/207/207.htm
