Armin - Page 2

Since his bald days, Armin has gotten into a lot of other things. His Tae-Kwon Do rank stays at 1st Grade Red Belt, which means he is only a smidgeon away from earning his Black Belt, and would have done so in late 1997. We could not find a suitable Dojang and Armin busied himself with his Kingsmen Drum and Bugle Corps involvement. He had even created a website: KINGSMENUnfortunately, the Kingsmen disbanded. He is also just made the varsity wrestling team at Leominster High School, it is the closest thing they have to a martial arts program. We are quite pleased that he WON his very first match! He is quite a decent marksman and shoots at every opportunity which presents itself.

He is equally adept with long arms and hand guns. It is my belief that gun safety is best served with education. It is often ignorance which causes fatalities and injuries. Armin keeps busy. He stayed behind in Massachusetts in order to continue his involvement with the sports teams at Leominster High and the Upward Bound programs at Fitchburg State College. Armin knows that his education will be paid for by scholarships and/or ROTC. He does well in school. This was proven by the results of the dreaded MCAS test, to which all the students in specific grades were subjected last year. Although Armin only achieved "proficient" ratings, the test results speak the facts of the ranking of Armin, as well as that of the local schools.

Not too shabby, Armin!
We are still waiting for you in Masonville, NY!

Armin is finishing his Senior year at Leominster High and tools around in his Eclipse with 5-on-the-floor!
