Hello

[Gary Steuer]

After making numerous trips I finally pulled the plug in 1994.............

Thanks for the explanation Gary. When I started practicing Chiropractic back in1991, one of my first patients became like a second father to me. He was around 60 at the time and as tough as nails. He had done construction all his life and was as strong as an ox. He came across as this gruff hardnosed man until he got to know you. Once he knew you and liked you he was like a teddybear. I swear you look just like he did when I first met him. He passed away of cancer a few years back. I remember at his funeral my wife and I were doing pretty well until his nephew stood up and began telling stories about his favorite uncle. Then he proceeded to pick up his violin and play Amazing Grace. That's the first time I've ever seen a whole church [EVERYBODY] crying at the same time. :'(When I watched your YouTube videos I remember thinking to myself " man, he not only looks like John, he talks like him too."

I have a feeling your students feel the same way about you as I did about John. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates and benefits from your insights.

Do you do any teaching in Thailand? How expensive is it to live their? I've heard it's really reasonable.

Take Care,

Mark

Hi Mark, Thanks. As far as teaching here in Thailand goes I've had a group of about 10 that I've kept together for a few years now. I was asked to teach a class for the Marriott hotel a few years ago but I let that go after about a year because I didn't want to run it like a business. Even when I had a school it wasn't run like a business. I liked that a lot ! The cost of living in Thailand is very resonable. It's about 1/4 of what the cost is in Los Angeles to live. I make it back to L.A. every March and we work out hard for about 3 weeks to a month. I like that a lot too !

Gary Thanks for sharing your history about Vietnam. I have spent a lot of my life around Vietnam era vets and have been a Honorary member of the Vietnam Vets M/C for a while now. their are very few of us that were not In Country that are members of the club. I am proud to be call Brother by these Warriors. Maybe when you come down in March and if you want to, you can meet some of them. Last even though you now live in Thailand I want to say "WELCOME HOME" George Sanchez

Thanks George, that means a lot ! I'd love to meet your friends.. Actually , I think I met you a long time ago. I was an associate of a club in the Valley a long time ago and did a lot of good will riding with other clubs.. Went on rides to Prado park with other clubs and made lots of friends and Had a Ball !! Went with a large group from East L.A. to Laughlin and then to Hanford, but above all, always had time to train ! Welcome to the forum George and Have A Happy New Year and give my very best to All the Brothers !!!

Hey Cuervo, I read your post and I'm kind of new here, but in regards to "and some of them dont want to speak to me", well
one of my heroes is Groucho marx, and to quote him "Now there's a man with an open mind, you can feel the breeze from here!" Buena suerte!
