		Six years after the Founder’s death, Saito Sensei came, at my invitation, to a demonstration for an Aikido club on Misawa Air force base, where I was teaching—a demonstration that led to the opportunity for me to come to the US for the first time.

		I thought Saito Sensei’s style would be more strict and severe.” My motto for teaching is to have a happy practice that clearly demonstrates the day’s lesson, so that students can understand fully and take it back home with them.

		Saito Sensei laughed and, obviously with great pleasure, bellowed, "See, I told you so!" From that time on (about 1979) even up through this day, Saito Sensei always travels to his aikido seminars with a copy of Budo to use as proof to show that a particular technique originated in the founder's teachings.
