From Seth Rosenblatt

George-sensei,

Just wanted to offer my congratulations, but more importantly, my thanks for your years of dedication to teaching us all Uechi-ryu. From your open-minded and challenging summer camps to tolerating fumbling new students (like myself in '95) in your senior student classes at the Hut, from encouraging students to explore other styles and see how they relate back to Uechi to giving me my first opportunity to teach karate to children, your influence and wisdom has not only made us all better Uechi-ka, but more importantly better people as well.

My most sincere thanks for the impact you've had on my life, and those who've taught me.

P.S. I owe you a Scotch, next time I see you!
