Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
- Henry Ford (1863-1947)
Welcome to the Koro Do webpage, the virtual home away from home of Richard L. Miles. Please pardon the mess, like so many things, this is a work in progress. It has been six years since I originally constructed my T.E.S.C. web page and it is time for me to update everything! I am currently in the process of writing copy and collecting the photographs and illustrations to bring the linked pages up to date and certain pages will be changing on a regular basis.
Koro
is Japanese for Lone Wolf, which is a nickname I inherited years ago, and
Do is Japanese for Tao or "The Way" as understood in Taoist and/or Zen
Buddhist terminology. Thus, the term Koro Do means "The Way of the Lone
Wolf" and it is probably best explained as "Just the way Miles seems to
do things". So, with enough being said here, I hope you enjoy the following
pages and feel free to contact me at the e-mail address below.
