Thank you so much for this supprising recognition! I have notified our schools so that they may enjoy your insights.
I don't want to seem rude... but have we met before? I mean... what prompted this recognition of our Troupe?
There is another "Lion Dance Troupe" in Missouri that should look at: the www.freewebs.com target="_blank" stlouisliondance target="_blank">10 Tigers Lion Dance Troupe.
Once again... thank you!

You and I have never met. I did get a chance to see your team perform at the recent St. Louis First Night. I was there at my granddaughter’s birthday party. I was going to introduce myself but your team was surrounded by a lot of people. I did get a chance to meet and talk with your Shifu about 15 years ago in San Francisco. His team was performing at the annual Chinese New Year celebration. What a show!! Were you there? I was so sorry to hear about SiGung Chiang's death. He was a good man and an excellent Kung Fu Shifu. My deepest sympathies. I will take a closer look at the team you suggested. Does anyone else know anything about the 10 Tigers in St. Louis?

Mr. Yuan,
Thank you for your condolences. That means a lot to me. I am sorry that we didn't get a chance to meet directly. I guess you enjoyed the show at First Night Saint Louis. Thank you again.

SiGung Cabais,
Like I said before, your Shifu was a good man. I remember watching him and his team work so hard in San Francisco. There are always a lot of teams at that celebration. His team was one of the best. I truly enjoyed their performances! It was not supprising that you seemed to be so hard on your team in St Louis. Considering the personal nature of SiGung Chiang. He also seemed to be a hard man also. But that is good.
