I hope this finds you, along with your family, happy and healthy.

On behalf of Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee and Sa Bom Nim HC Hwang, I am sending out The Kwan Jang Nim's Greeting that was read at Nationals 2000 this year. It was an honor for me to read this translation. The Kwan Jang Nim graciously agreed to have this greeting taped while we were in Seoul in September and October of this year. My sincere thanks to Sa Bom Nim Frank Bonsignore and Master Josh Lockwood for their assistance in bringing this taped greeting to our organization and our families.

The Kwan Jang Nim's Greeting for the 2000 Nationals

I am deeply touched by your recent visit to me, and I thank you for that. Please accept my sincere congratulations for your 25 years of the Federation in the United States, as well as your 22 years of successful Nationals. One of the most joyous moments of my life was attending the Nationals.  I miss them very much, and I will miss you at this Nationals.  I wish you the best, for a successful Nationals. I also wish you the best for your family, Do Jang, and for a happier and healthier life ahead of you.

We, as Soo Bahk Do practitioners, should be a role model for the world society and contribute to a higher value for human life. I expect you to achieve your missions, through the demonstration of harmony, trust, and love among us, and I believe that you can do it.

Kham Sa Hap Ni Da.

Hwang Kee
