I feel very privalidged to have known GM Tran, I always felt humbled when I saw and talked with him.
Only in Argentina he took the time to have a chat with me, always a great honor.
He has given me the insperation to continue on the right path and keep passing on the true TKD.
Why is it that the good people have to leave us and the bad stay?
May you rest in peace GM Tran. You will be missed the world over.
