Certificates of proficiency were awarded to these candidates and others from
previous tests, on August 23 at our awards banquet. We have used state of
the art technology to design and print these 11" X 17" full color diplomas.
They have been hand lettered by a professional calligrapher. Charles Earle
and the board members of NAUKA designed the new diplomas in memory of the
late Master Kanei Uechi.
