Andy chose martial arts, and then Sam decided she wanted to do that also.” Kem, who is a Boeing employee, took the children to classes at Perry TaeK wonDo three or four times a week for about four weeks, and got interested in what they were learning. ilxSw*- I > iWfayw W WP»^^.. i '<:*' : :«K%jH ’-vft^%^-V%f W. .**•+"'■■ iW T"' i jfr’i#* jV^.| Home Journal Photo by Torey Jolley PUPPETRY Bob Abdou teaches children how to become a puppet master with the help of Heather Browning.
