A Surprise Tribute to Paula

Made by Sensei at our annual club party, April 25, 2015

 

…  HSK would NOT be what it is today if not for one person  -- my wife Paula.  Paula, can you please come up here?  Paula is the most self-less and caring person that I know. … and I want HER to know that although I may not tell her often enough, SHE is the REAL reason for HSK’s success.  She has always supported me in pursuing my karate passion, putting aside her own interests for mine.  She has NEVER complained about the time I spend at karate.  In short, if I am happy, then she is happy!  Am I not the luckiest man alive?  Just think – if not for her, I would not have had the opportunity to meet all you awesome people here tonight!
