From the Kwan Jang Nim:

Dear Master Bonefont,

Thank you for the updates in P.R.
All candidates will be gathered at the central Do Jang tomorrow morning and plan to visit the Founder's resting site and head to the KDJ site which will takes about 3 hours of drive.

We are having 30+members from Australia, France, Korea, and USA with candidates, visitors and officials at the KDJ week.
It will be a good KDJ week.  I will stay about a week extra for ground work for the MDK 70th in 2015.

Your help with the WMDK web meant a lot for memberships in the MDK and myself.
Mucho Gracias.

In Moo Duk Kwan,
HC Hwang
