I wonder what his students will think when their parents show them the article…
Then flog the issue to the Metro Spirit. Please dump the article into a word document, give it to them, and tell them its a press release.
You want me to dump it and email it to you?
To Asia since he’s going to be our media contact.
I know, but I was offering since I have it in Word format already. I’d just need to add the pictures. Then again, I guess copy and paste isn’t too hard, even for a military guy…[/sly dig] <sly sly=“” dig=“”></sly>
Send me a copy. I will find out soon if they want to run such a story. I mentioned it on the interview on Tuesday and will be getting back with the reporter.
What’s your email addy?
Well it didn’t seem to affect them.
I ran into a Ralph Hall student today and unlike the kids I say at the first meeting this was a grown man, truly sad.
I was in the PX at lunch waiting for my coworkers to get their orders. There was a stand selling cheap swords, knives, ninchaku, fans, etc.
I was looking over them and saw a knife and blowgun combination. I joked about ninja stabbing one guy then killing others with the blowgun the shop attendant said for a ninja it would be the other way around. He went on about ninjas and I really didn’t feel like getting into a discussion becuase I was hungry and waiting to go eat back at work. Then he said he is training in ninjutsu. There is a ninjutsu school (from what I hear a legit Bujinkan one but never seen it) ran out of an African Dance and cultural center. I didn’t even think of Ralph. I asked him where he trained and he said with at 10th degree master of ninjutsu. Still not thinking of Ralph because a Judan in the Buj is quite common now. Then he said his teacher trained with Grandmaster Hatsumi. (As he put it THE GRANDMASTER Hatsumi) So I figured it was the school I heard about before. Then he said his master was in the Army, not uncommon and this is an Army town. I was like cool and asked him name. He said he would right it down and give me his phone number if I wanted to train with them. When I saw he wrote Ralph Hall I busted out laughing. I said I knew Ralph and he was BS. The guy had a look on his face like I just shot his puppy, picked up the carcass, sodomized it, then gave it a dirty sanchez. I thanked him for his time and tried to keep my laughter in. When my peers got their orders and we got in the car I couldn’t stop laughing. I tried to tell them why but it just came out dumb and I let it go.
