Can someone tell me why I just recieved a letter from California, and I live on the east coast and know no one there? :-?

 

Can someone tell me why I opened the letter and started jumping up and down, and screaming uncharactoristically? :o

 

Can someone tell me why?

 

I can. :wink:

 

It was from HOWARD JACKSON. :lol: :brow: It was hand written. He is one of my heroes. I can't believe it. It was addressed personally to me, and he wrote my name and replied to what I had written.

 

You see, he has cancer, and is currently being treated with chemo. I found out his address in Black Belt Magazine, and wrote him my well wishes. I signed it " From a fellow warrior, and martial artist," and then my full name. I still can't believe it. He sent me his card, and Chuck Norris' card. They are part of "Kick Drugs Out of America."

 

I needed someone to talk to, so I called my friends. Unfortunatly, they didn't know who the heck he was, but I found someone to listen to me obsess for a half hour, and at least pretend to listen. ( LOL, Ben, Thanks :wink:) I Hope you guys will write back too.

 

GRRRRRRRRR,

Pretty cool. The guy has been around in the martial arts for a long time even if he hasn't been the guy out front getting all the publicity.

 

Remember for every successfull organization like KDOA there are many unsung heroes behind the scenes.

Who?? :wink: ...sorry

 

Honestly Dee ... I wasn't very well acquainted with the name until I read the thread here on KF.... not too familiar with "sport" karate.

 

Don't take it to heart that your friends aren't familiar with him....I now know who the "California Flash" is! .... and that is so awesome that he "personally" wrote to you!

 

I do hope he beats this!

Thank you all. Now I am so happy knowing that he is doing better, and hearing it from him was so wonderful. I now sleep with the letter next to my bed, behind a picture of me doing Bassai. I am hoping to know more about him, and if any of you have some fan sites, please send them to me, or anything about KDOA.

 

Thanks! :D
