to their father amidst camera flashes and welldeserved
applause. A moving and fitting ceremony.
And, on the final day of camp, at tlie
Founder's Day celebration, when the three Szrejters
werc again honored, Bushido coaches George Weers
and Terry Kelly began snapping their fingers and
parodying "The Adam's Family" theme song with
a good-nahrred rendition of "The Godan Family."
The camp crowd enthusiastically joined in, and it
seemed that this too was a fitting ceremony for
Kathy, Pat, and Mike's (and Ed's) achievement.
Congratulations from the USJA family and the
entire American judo communitY.
