Tonight the Mountaineer Martial Arts group had the opportunity to welcome Mr. Lamont Glass aka Blindside. It was wonderful to meet Lamont and have the opportunity to let him jump in with my group. On Tuesday nights, after our college class is dismissed, we stay and train in the gym. When Lamont walked in, I didn't assosciate him with Martial Talk at first, and as I was already annoyed, gave him a polite brush off. Tess asked me who he was and I told her, Lamar somebody or something (Seig's hearing is not that great). She then said, "Are you sure it wasn't Lamont? Blindside's name is Lamont and he is here this week." I went over and asked him if he was Lamont aka Blindside, and when he answered in the affirmative, he was given a warm welcome and invited to join us. Lamont, unbeknownst to me at the time, walked five miles to get there. Needless to say, we arrnaged transportation for him. That was a good thing, because thirty minutes after class, it started to rain and just now lightened up. Lamont will be joining us again on Saturday. It was a real pleasure to meet him and have him join us.
