Yvonne just with 2 weeks training won 2nd place in the patterns section of the Sun Hang Do tournament and she was also was in the sparring competition and was outmatched but hung in there and took her licks but she did get a point against a much taller heavier and more experienced opponent. The masters put on a show to show off there talents and it was very worth while as it shows all the students with dedication and hard work how good you can get. She still misses Master Kenyon in San Diego as he really helped her with forms and patterns when she trained there.

I even managed to get some stained glass work in using glass and bevels. I have 2 pieces I have cut out and ground but haven't gotten around to finishing them as yet. Well that brings us up to date for now . Take care all Jim

It has been awhile since we have posted an update so I will try to get everyone
uo to date. We got home on a Sunday and Leslie and I were right back into the thick of things with regards to work. Leslie started to try and catch up with her work and on Wednesday I started with Henlel and McCoy PEI. A big US firm bought out an local Abbotsford firm and are in the process of expanding it. I have been setting up the cable section as PEI has never had a cable section and it is a challenge to say the least. Leslie has taken on some new clients as well as still working with the older clients and it she is very busy.

In the meantime we have bought another car as I am commuting to Abbotsford everyday, Yvone started regular school to finish out the year and is loving it. In the midst of all that we have been house hunting, renewing our friendships and seeing family. We have had Yvonne's Birthday, spent Easter at John and Lila's and her cousins on Van. Island We even had a week of sunshine, yes I know it doesn't seem like it but it is true and Yvonne spends a lot of time with Lauren and Jamesee at the playground in the rv park. Grandma and Grandpa came over for a concert and got to come and see Yvonne in her first Sun Hang Do tournament. More to pictures with regards to that to follow. Jim
