Thanks Peter, Welcome Simon

Post by Luc Taelman »

I want to thank our senior member Peter Frischknecht for what he did (on a voluntary base) to establish this forum. Peter took the task very serious and made this forum to what it is today, a place to share knowledge .
Without him, It should never have existed.
Peter stays active on the forum as a member.
Thanks Peter in the name of all members of Japanense Armor Society!

Today, we start with a new administrator, Simon Kim Liong Kwee.
Simon is a Japanologist, practices Iaido, speaks English, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese and Indonesian.
More about Simon can be read in the members section.
Welcome Simon, and thank you for being part of our team!

Without Peter, this forum would not be here today. He has my personal thanks and I look forward to his increased participation!

Peter,

many thanks for your tireless efforts in creating and maintaining our forum. The only one, solely dedicated to Japanese armor (as far as I know ;) ).


Welcome Simon,

Thank you very much Peter, this must have cost so many hours of hard work, incredible!
Welcome to Simon and thank you to the group and directors.

For many years many of us have become friends.
Thinking about all our meetings, wonderful.
I am terribly sorry about my decreased effort on the forum but I really love this group.

Just had a wonderful time in Japan, also with members of the japanese branch, besides that I received my mokuroku in Japan from the Japanese National Treasure, a legend, Otake sensei.
It has been a great time.
Thank you all.
Mischa

Hi Mischa,

Glad to hear that your trip to Japan was great! Ueda-san mentioned to me that he was meeting up with you and I'm sure he treated you well - he's such a generous man!

BTW - what is a mokuroku?
