Penn State Tragedy


I am sorry that the wonderful career of a living legend like Joe Paterno has come to an abrupt end. It sure would have been nice to see him leave coaching on his terms.

However, in light of the information coming out of the grand jury investigation, I have to ask myself why this legend did not do more? As a father of 3 boys, I can't understand why Joepa (as he is affectionately called) did not follow up with the authorities or do more to "press" the issue with his superiors?

This whole controversy has been shockingly horrible and one can only imagine what these poor children went through.  If you have not had a chance to read the grand jury report, I have provided a copy of it below for you.

WARNING.....

The details in this report are graphic and highly disturbing, but it will present a better picture of what occurred and help you decide if enough was done.



It is my opinion that the board acted properly by firing Coach Paterno and the president and it is my hope that in time, the university will recover from this terrible tragedy.

Meanwhile, my heart and thoughts are with the innocent children, victims of such terrible abuse!  My prayers are with them and their family's as they try to recover from this horrible ordeal.

Remembering Memorial Day!

I found this really beautiful video from Humanity Healing , that helps us remember the significance of what Memorial Day is all about. I have several military families that train with me, and several members that have been deployed over the past three years. Thankfully, no one I know personally has been wounded or killed. However, we are engaged in two wars and the reality is we have men and women who continue to be in harms way. Let's say a prayer for the fallen, and those still serving on the front lines! Thank you to all who serve and those that gave their lives to protect our freedom! Happy Memorial Day! Sensei Chris Feldt Samurai Karate Studio Columbia, SC 29229 803-462-9425
