SHADES OF ISSHINRYU

Cutting potatoes

MESS PHOTO 1957 (Harry G. Smith at right)

Things that had to be done to have the complete day off.  This way I had the unique opportunity to train with Sensei at daylight.  Worked at night, 7pm to 4am seven days a week.  Cut more potatoes than there are ants in the world.

Sgt. Hall made this possible.  He pulled strings for me, especially at the time I was a lineman, strung high voltage wires through the area.  When typhoons hit the mess hall work ceased and I had to string wire until electric was back on.

It was I who got one single light bulb in the Agena dojo at no cost to Sensei.
