On July 24, 2021 a small group social met for lunch at Izakaya beginning at 11:00 am. Olivia Hernandez served as the table hostess at this event. President Dick Robie and his wife Barbara drove in from Brazosport for the lunch. Jimmy Leon attended and brought an interesting guest, O'Sensei Deddy Mansyur. Mr. Mansyur holds the title of Lightweight Karate World Champion five times and is the first traditional shotokon dojo in Texas. Also attending were Harish Krishnarao and Robin Charlesworth. These two struck up a conversation about training dogs and have exchanged information for further training of their dogs. Harish has a German Sheperd and Robin has a three-month old Bernidoodle. We all had a pleasant time and look forward to more opportunities for these casual social gatherings to get to know fellow club members.
