Message | Dear Sir, I am requesting information from Sensei Richard Sapp, concerning a rank test when he was the Chief Official of the committee on July 15, 1965, Houston, Texas, and was also the USKA Representative who signed certificate No 292 for George David Mabry. On that day in Houston, Texas, as I understand it, you tested Mike Lassiter and David Mabry for their Shodan ranks in Shotokan. We have some very cool black and white photos from that day. There were three officials in the photo. Sensei Sapp has on a gray gi top, then there are 2 other officials, one was Sensei McMorris and the other (in a Hawaiian shirt)is unidentified (can you recall his name). Also, can you please provide any backstory that you may remember about that day. I will be glad to send you all of the photos from that day (one was a very interesting of Sensei Sapp in a low fighting stance)if you will be so kind as to send me your email address. I'm sure it was a very good test and expertly administered. In 1965, I had just started training in Shotokan and was only a 14 year old kid. Sensei Mabry took me under his wing for many years. My purpose is to make a historically acurate document for Sensei Mabry and for the Mississippi Karate Association. After completion, if you so desire, I will be glad to send that same document to you, for your historical records. Thank You Kindly, Steve Cash - Rokyudan (retired) [email protected] (228) 216-7869 |
