Would like to give a huge congratulations to Nolan, Jason and Bill who were promoted to the rank of Shodan over the weekend in Tucson. I understand the promotion ceremony was a very memorable event and the weekend overall was excellent.

For those that live in the Long Beach/Orange County area. This is a blast from the past. I remember buying a number of items from them. Too bad they are a thing of the past, closed down many years ago. Interesting/nice that Phil Hall's Martial Arts Supplies had a book marker card. I don't think some people would actually know what that is!
