06/2008 Dear Sensei Denora, I hope life is treating you well and that you are in good health. I am currently in the San Diego area (Ramona) on a road trip with my daughter Elysia. She is finally 18, graduated from high school, and is enrolled at UW Milwaukee for the fall semester. I'm sure that I'm biased but she has grown into a beautiful young woman with a good heart and a sharp mind. She will be attending University of Milwaukee for her first year of College and then will be taking advantage of my veteran's educational benefit and transferring to San Diego State University majoring in photography. Last time we spoke I was in dire need of your assistance to help me save my sanity - or what was left of it at the time. Under your expert instruction I have gained control of my mind once again (without the heavy prescription medication that was making my symptoms worse), and have been making inroads to healing my body. I spent a few years in the mountains of northern New Mexico trying to regain my ability to concentrate. My ability to focus is 100% better than it has been in a long time. Sincerely,
"Although no news is good news we wish to report that Gunshi John Denora recently has been honored with an appointment as Technical Advisor to the International Society of Headmasters. This prestiguous organization is not for making profit. It consists of registerd Heads of Families and Headmasters of Martial art entities throughout the world. It was previously known as the World Headmasters Council (W.H.C.) becoming a fully functioning organization in 1987.
The ISHH (W.H.C.) follows traditional protocals that were set in the pre-Meiji eras of Japan.
A strict protocal was established as a necessity to identify "legitamate" systems" or "ryu". The lineage is essential in this strict process. For further information on Head Family and Head Founders kindly see: www.ISHH.com."
