Frank Bieser Promoted
[Apr 27, 2007]

Frank Bieser was promoted to Sandan on April 27, 2007! A stalwart and longstanding member of Still Point, Frank has made so many contributions to the dojo that they are literally impossible to count, but among the most significant are hosting and webmastery of our web site, multi-years length of service as an instructor in a number of classes, able assistance and business savvy regarding everything from seminar planning to dojo council member, and, most recently, capable leadership in his new role as chief instructor of Still Point - Hancock Recreation Center. Well-deserved congratulations to Frank for this promotion!

Congratulations Kori and Frank!
[Apr 14, 2007]

We congratulate Frank Swehosky and Kori Blankenship on the occasion of their marriage, April 14, 2007! Kori trained with us at Still Point until the demands of ice cream (she manages one of the divine Amy's Ice Cream locations in Austin) got in the way of her training schedule. Frank is currently on leave from the dojo but expects to return to training shortly. When you see Frank and Kori, wish them a happily-ever-after!

Catherine Parsoneault Promoted
[Apr 13, 2007]

Dr. Catherine "Katie" Parsoneault was promoted to the rank of shodan today. A beloved member, Katie assumed the duties of teaching the regular Monday night adult class at HRC in January of this year. Katie has also made many other contributions to the Still Point organization too numerous to enumerate here. Despite the pressure of being examined not only by Still Point instructors but three visiting instructors from different dojo and systems, she represented herself and the dojo in exemplary fashion. We couldn't be prouder.
