Ike went on to become the best single in this area. Ike is not one to "blow his own horn". However, during that time, he entered the Yamaha organ competition in the "Professional Division". He won the regional division, and then moved on to the national contest which he won. He flew to Tokyo to compete in the world contest and was edged out by a man from Germany. Hey, the way I look at it is, "Number Two In the World" is not all that bad!
 
Ike and I get together for dinner every Tuesday at my place. In the last six years this has meant more to me... Lori, Ike and I always had dinner on Tuesday every week for years: I would cook or most times my wife Lori would cook... (Ike will tell you about Lori's pork ribs on the grill.). Lori passed away in 2001. We both still miss her and I always will.
