Reconnect with Karate Sensei Mr. Cusumano - FDU Alumni

Question
Mr. Cusumano,
My name is Neil Shapiro.  I was a Karate student of yours during the 1970-71 school year at FDU in Madison, NJ.
Although I am 54 now, I want to get back into Karate.  I am only interested in Isshin Shorenji ryu.  Carteret is a bit far for me.  I am living on Long Beach Island in NJ.  I am traveling every month to California.  For some reason, I thought you were living there.

Do you still teach in a Dojo?

Please reach out to me at 609-364-0113 after 6pm any night and of course please email me and tell me where you are and how you are doing.

Regards,

Neil Shapiro

Answer
Hi Neil,
As a matter of fact, your name is familiar to me although I can't remember your face. I fondly remember the FDU days. It was one of my more enjoyable teaching experiences. I live in KY now and have been out of active Martial Arts participation since 1980. I am a Physician Assistant in Family Practice since graduating from Cornell Medical College in 1975. I wish you well and hope you are able to continue your studies.
