Some of you old timers might have practiced with Russ Davis at the old Sand Drift.  Dave Ederer forwarded this obituary: Vero Beach – Russell Scott Davis, age 74, passed away Sunday, October 27, 2019 at his home in Vero Beach. He was born in Athens, Georgia and moved from Pittsburgh in the 1970’s, to Florida. Russell had a lifelong passion for motorcycles and loved riding his Harley Panhead with the wind in his hair. He was a 5th Degree Black Belt in Aikido and taught compassionate self-defense to thousands. Russell loved nature, animals, hiking, canoeing and birding. He was a member of Vero Beach First Church of the Nazarene. Russell has gone home to be with the Lord; is deeply missed, but we will meet again in heaven. He is survived by his wife, Melissa; sisters, Dawn, Patty, and Claire; children, Russell, Sean, Heather, and Dawn; and 5 grandchildren. Russell was predeceased by his parents, Melvin and Bunny Davis; brother, Jim; and sister, Cindi. No services are planned.

Richard did a nice 6th kyu test. Congratulations Richard.

We also had a visitor from the past: Bobby Truitt. He was a student back when we were at TBJC, and got his 6th kyu in 09. He is now living in Denver, and is a first kyu.
