 We had a good attendance at this years reunion. It was great seeing and visiting with all of you. All Hamaguri owners seems to appreciate the training they received. A special thanks to Dennis and Matthew Brooks, and John Kociela for all of their assistance. We are looking forward to next years and hope that the ones who didn't make it this year will make it next year.

2008 Travel Training

       This years Travel Training was very enjoyable, when a trainer works with groups of sharpeners that are as talented as the ones in Daytona, FL; Richmond, VA; and Lansing, MI. The work shops covered a lot of subjects that were of benefit to everyone.  The motorcycle ride up the eastern coast was a lot different than the ride up the west coast in 2007. Both coasts have a beauty of their own, with the west coast having more miles of shoreline highway than the east coast. There was a lot to see and do on the intercostals highways of the east coast.
