great story – congrats Terry! and Serguei!
Hey thanks Jenn, and thanks Joey, for posting this!
What a nice story…challenges overcome by dedication. The story seemed to just flow, wanting to read more. Good Job Terry.
The broad can write…I’m just sayin’
Yes she can, and she has such a beautiful smile. She is also in the Cape Ann Guide. Damn, she gets around. Someone should write an article about the writer.
You’re lucky this “broad” is easy going with a sense of humor!
Keep climbing the ladder Terry!
Hey Bob, Nice to hear from you. Sometime over weekend will send you an email about a couple of loose ends to tie up.
good story. serge is a good friend. 1 correction tho. there are no competitions in aikido. mr. murphy was not his opponent.
