You Never Know

Just a note, you truly never know where you will find some fact that is relevant to what ever it is you are doing, etc. Today, reading a sort of biography I came across a reference to karate and kung-fu.

"Karate and kung fu, incidentally, were relatively unknown in this country before World War II and the Korean War. At that time many G.I.'s learned something of the martial arts and brought them home. ... Unfortunately many of the Oriental masters kept their secrets to themselves or for special students, and if one died, his knowledge might be lost forever." - Louis L'Amour, Education of a Wandering Man.

Go figure, cool tho! Mr. L'Amour was big on education and reading, reading, reading so just goes to show there is tons of data out there if you work hard and diligently seeking it.
