SEUSKF dojos:
It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Larry Scanlon Sensei of the Annapolis Kendo and Iaido club. I received a note from the Northern Virginia Budokai that he died of a heart attack over the weekend. At the moment we have no other details.
Larry was one of the founders of the Annapolis Kendo club with a yondan whose name escapes me at the moment. After the original sensei moved to Okinawa, Larry took over and expanded the club, among other things starting the first annual tournament/seminar/promotional in the Northeastern corner of SEUSKF. He was recommended for and attended the Kitamoto Foreigners gasshuku (summercamp) several years ago.
Join us in expressing our sympathy to his family, friends, and students. His son Wayne practices with Shudokan Dojo of Washington DC.
Sincerely,
Ken Strawn, President
South Eastern United States Kendo Federation
