The YMCA gymnasium was very hot for the taekwondo workout Thursday evening, May 12, but not too hot for birthday cake and cheer.
Students from white belts to masters gathered that night to celebrate Grandmaster Dwight Stevens’ birthday. A round of song and applause preceded the cake and visiting as Masters Kim Buehler and Karrie Lane expertly distributed the dessert.
Dr. Stevens’ birthday is always a time to acknowledging the many lives he has touched and the pride and affection his students hold for him. Twenty black belts were in attendance, and birthday wishes from senior masters
Jim Henkel, Karen Johnson a
nd John Henkel were also extended in absentia.
