Please take a few minutes to send a get-well card to John Anderson
January 30, 2017
As I announced at the Shufu Rules Clinic on Sunday, Sensei John Anderson has been taken ill and is in a rehabilitation facility near Baltimore.
John has been a sensei to many of us and an important part of the region’s judo development over many years.
I ask that each of us consider sending John a note or a card letting him know that we are thinking of him and to remind him that he is still an honored and respected member of our judo family.
A family member checks his mail daily, and will bring your cards and letters to him.
John’s address is 8405 Downey Dale Drive, Randallstown, MD 21133.
Thanks for taking a bit of your time to send John your reminder of friendship and gift of encouragement as he recovers.
