Ponedeljek, November 13, 2023, Dosegel sem velik cilj, ko sem prehodil celotno dolžino poti Chubb Trail, 13 milj dolga pot nazaj in nazaj v West St. Louis County.

Četrtek, Januar 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 stara leta. Besides finishing school, Kenneth’s biggest focus is the martial arts. He is particularly passionate about teaching self-defense.

Novembra 1908, three bishops and an abbot dedicated St. Francis de Sales Church, “the Cathedral of South St. Louis”.

Danes, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Na žalost, life in Missouri is 20 let, 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. Julija 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
V zadnjem času, 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 stara leta. 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
Maja 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. I
