I know that this is not the place to lay accolades for promotion, but hell, it is my forum afterall

I want to say congratulations to Samantha Budwit, Sarah Drummey, Matthew Connolly, William Nguyen, and Steven Mehdizadeh for their promotion to Junior Dan ranks. They have all been with me for over 7 years and it's a great achievement. As you can see, I am very proud of them!

Also, thanks again for Raffi, Lenny, Jay sensei, and Mattson Sensei for coming to the test to watch them. It will be a wonderful memory for all of them.

Mike,
That was an excellent test. I got some good ideas from you that I plan to steal (and take credit for )
Thank YOU for inviting me! It was an honor.

Mike:

Thank you for inviting me to be part of your Junior dan test board.
Your students were fantastic. We all we very impressed with their
talent, knowledge, and over all abilities. This also directly correlates
to your outstanding teaching ability. You are an outstanding Sensei.

It was an honor to be part of your junior dan test. I was especially impressed with the projects the kids had to make, and the reports by their parents.

Thank you.
