Hello, I did a general search for my son's former Instructor and it brought me to this forum. The boys and I are trying to contact Kevin Harrington who use to have his Karate school in East Windsor, CT We are hoping the person mentioned is the same individual? My sons: Nathan Gowash & Zachary Bley were students for many years in his school. Zachary is testing for his BLACK belt for the weekend of 11/17/2007. Zach would like to invite his former instructor to the test. The boys, myself and my wife have fond memories of his school which closed a few years ago. If anyone could get a message to him or know of his where-abouts, could you please contact me via email at [email protected]. It would be special if he could attend or give Zach a few words of encouragement.
Thank you,

The Kevin Harrington mentioned above is a Bujinkan instructor who was based in White Plains, NY. I believe he is no longer teaching.
 
Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. Last night we were able to locate him! The wonders of the web. I spent hours to looking for clues. Believe it or not, he was less than 15 miles away! Mr Harrington(one from CT) wished my son luck on his black belt test Saturday. Thanks again,

Respectfully,
Ken Gowash & Family
