One of the nicest things that came out of our presentation of the 1st Annual Chang Moo Kwan Celebration was a card I received from the Kamon Family about two weeks after the event on the 29 of June. It contained four wonderful thank you cards "hand written" by each of the four Kamon children: Olivia, Emily, Tanom, and Natan. Peter Kamon, their father, also wrote a really fantastic note. I was overwhelmed.
My mom always taught me that respect and manners begins and ends with a simple heartfelt combination of two words... "thank you." Those simple words carry as much weight as gold to appreciative people and enlightened souls: one can carry them with you long after they are spoken.
The cards that follow, I would like to share as a way of thanking the Kamon family for being so very kind and gracious. I will keep them forever with my martial arts and family treasures.
By the way Olivia, I am still trying to open the "Ninja Star" without breaking it. My whole State Farm office was trying like crazy to open it with out it falling apart. Finally, I named it "my Ninja Star," and I placed it on my bookcase at work forever.
With deepest thanks and respect to mom and dad Kamon for being the guiding light in four wonderful youths. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Very Sincerely Yours,
Grandmaster Jon Wiedenman
