Letters - Thoughts & Hope
Good day
I am just dropping a note to let all of the Uechi-ryu community know that Sensei John VanDeLaare, a student of James Thompson and founder and head instructor of the Battle Creek Budokan in Battle Creek Michigan is in the hospital and gravely ill with and infection. His students and friends would very much appreciate if the Uechi community could take a moment to keep him in their thoughts and prayers in hope that he will be able to recover. Thank-you.
