Funny, my 80th birthday is this Saturday, so my wife and daughter have planned a birthday party for me. They got on Facebook and located some of my Judo students from Miami, Florida from 1973 until 1980 or 82 -- and several of them will be coming from various locations around the state. Wow, they are all grandparents! Back then they ranged from grade school to high school age. I taught Judo on and off from 1965 until 1988 when I just lost interest. Looking back and wondering; if one could see in the future back then maybe my teaching days would have continued on.

Re: Judo Students From 40 Years Ago Attending My 80th Birthday Party
Never thought it mattered In those days kids appreciated what we did for them. I worked night shift at EAL then came home to get a few hours sleep and off to teach the kids and the adult classes. I'm not sure I even remember it, so sleepy at times I could fall asleep standing up. Oh well, at least they remembered.
