Op maandag, November 13, 2023, Ik heb een belangrijk doel bereikt toen ik de hele lengte van de Chubb Trail bewandelde, een heen-en-weer-parcours van 13 mijl in West St. Louis County. De wandeling kostte me zeven uur en dertig minuten. Toen mijn oudste zoon “Trey” aan de vereisten voor de Gold Medal of Achievement in Royal Rangers voldeed, gelijk aan
Op donderdag, Januari 31, 2020, Grandmaster Pat Weseman promoted me to 4th Dan in Taekwondo at the Advanced Class. When I started classes with Grandmaster Weseman and her husband Art, I did not foresee reaching this milestone. I originally started taking classes with my nephew Jim in Spring 1995. After getting married in 1996, I stopped taking classes for several
This week my oldest son Kenneth turns 20 jaar oud. Besides finishing school, Kenneth’s biggest focus is the martial arts. He is particularly passionate about teaching self-defense. Over de jaren, I have trained 14 nieces and nephews plus all three of my children in the martial arts. Last week, the first member of the third generation started with us. To
Op november 1908, three bishops and an abbot dedicated St. Francis de Sales Church, “the Cathedral of South St. Louis”.

Last Monday, I was able to scratch a big item off my bucket list. I attended a Liverpool Football Club game in person.

Vandaag, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Helaas, life in Missouri is 20 jaren, so I hope she doesn’t want to apply for parole. I’m hoping she decides to keep me around for a few more years. Op juli 27, 1996, Tam, my mother and sisters prepared the clubhouse for our wedding later that afternoon. They wisely kept
My oldest son Kenneth turns 19 this week. All three of my kids have their own special talents and bent. Kenneth has always focused on two things in his life: martial arts and the Bible. When he was 14, he did all the Bible merits available at Royal Rangers over one summer. A friend of his and I convinced him
Onlangs, my youngest son Caleb obtained his first job at a local fast food restaurant. I was proud of him because Caleb decided he wanted a job, filled out a number of applications and obtained a job close to the house. Caleb found the job to be a good fit because of the location and working environment.
Yesterday, my maternal grandmother Alvina M. Ellis nee Mosblech would have been 100 jaar oud. Born in St. Louis, Missouri on May 15, 1916, Grandma was the seventh of fourteen children. She married an only child in 1938 and they would have two children, my mom and Aunt Maureen. Grandma had a big influence on my sisters and me because
Op mei 7, 2016, my daughter Caity returned to Taekwondo competition for the first time in eight years. As her dad but also her coach, I tried to dissuade her from sparring until we had a few more months but she was adamant about sparring at the tournament. Caity likes forms but she always preferred sparring. Reluctantly, I agreed. Ik
