Yeah, that does jump out at you. There were always a lot of rumors swirling around him. Probably a healthy mix of lies, half-lies, and truths. His compound was along this road that ran between towns, fenced in, with a rotating police light on a tall pole next to the gate. Supposedly when the light was on, that meant training was "in session", I guess as a warning to anyone who might want to enter. Anyway, it meant that all the locals were aware of him. One rumor was that he provided School Of The Americas* (a couple hours away) with special training the military couldn't / didn't want to provide directly. After his death, his son ran the place for a while, and one of this instructors, Jason Lau, opened a specialized kung fu school in the area. Their military supply retail outfit, Brigade Quartermasters, continues in operation- http://www.brigadeqm.com/aboutus.asp http://www.brigadeqm.com/aboutus.asp The county I grew up in was very, very, very right wing. Still is to some extent. So he was in the right place. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_for_Security_Cooperation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_fo...
