Gratitude
"Often, I've found, I have to forgive in order to be thankful. In this spirit, I wish to make a note about a person that I have much gratitude towards, Alan Vasquez. Although our interpretation of Wing Chun differs and our relationship has taken a most unfortunate turn the last few years, I will forever be grateful for the time we had together. I see him for the person he was. I forgive him for all the things he has done and said towards/about me these past few years. In my journey I have met many people, but few have the dedication to the art of Wing Chun as Alan does. You will never meet another man more loyal to furthering the Wing Chun that was given to him by his teacher, Robert Yeung. I also would like to thank him for all the kindness he had for me while we were associated with one another. His kind words and actions will never be forgotten. If it weren't for my experience with Alan, I wouldn't be the person I am today."
