A Letter I Received December 2004
Master Joe,
I wanted to share a few pictures with you that I found the other day. I looked at them in amazement and saw my son from first grade standing next to the grand master looking so honored and proud. Now Tom is in 9th grade and I saw the same look in his face once again looking proud and honored being in his presence. Tom also thinks you are the most awesome person he has ever met and feels so honored now that he is in the adult class’s and gets to be in your presence even more. I remember him telling me years ago how he missed all the classes that you would teach and the wonderful stories you would tell. Now with him being in the adult class, he gets to hear them even more and gets to work out with you and even once in a while gets to spare with you. He tells me that it feels great because you treat him just like one of the other adults in class and that everyone there respects each other and are friends. He is never happier then when it’s time to go to class or when I pick him up and he can’t wait to show me all the new material he has learned. You have built a business that I have had the honor of watching grow so beautifully. You have the most wonderful people that work for you and teach the classes as well. Your business is filled with students that walk out with respect and confidence. My son is a better person for being part of Shaolin-Do. Thank you for pushing him to be the very best he can be and for in a way being part of our family as well. You’re a super person in my book for doing what you do and for going for your dream and making it others dreams as well.
God bless you , Holly Eller / proud mom to Tom Eller

It's funny that Tommy aged 11 years and Grandmaster Sin looks the same if not better.
