Spangler, ND, Ph.D. Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:06:10 +0000 http://www.stephenkhayes.com/?p=160#comment-4 I too only just found this blog, and feel I must at the least, send out my sorrow for all of our loss with Bonnie. I too moved to Atlanta in the early 90's, and though I had followed the Ninja for many years prior, Bud and Bonnie were my first "In Dojo" teachers. What I learned in my short time at the Atlanta Bujinkan Dojo cannot compare to all my studies, and I believe the reason is the life-long dedication to what they did, and hopefully still do. No words can describe the feelings and the motivation they gave me. I feel somewhat ashamed, now, thinking that it was just this week I learned of this, when I should have at the very least written once a year to show my gratitude.
