The Casper Seniors Center was the venue for Mister Johnson's test to Master Instructor and the Wyoming Color Belt Test. There were many USTF dignitaries in attendance, including all four Grand Masters. There were guests and spectators from around the country, Senior Masters and Masters and 6th Dans as well as family and friends of Mister Johnson's. Also, many of Wyoming's retired senior Black Belts came to watch the test. Click on any picture to see a larger image. Thank you Mr. Freire and Mr. Crabb for the pictures!

There were speeches and presentations - Senior Grand Master Sereff presented his traditional Samurai Sword, as a sign that he considered Master Johnson his Taekwon-Do warrior. Grand Master Renee Sereff said that Master Johnson possessed the three P's in abundance - passion, preparedness, and people that you surround yourself with. Senior Master Martin spoke of how rare it is that an instructor's dream for his student is the same as the student's dream, so that when that goal is reached it has specal significance. Master Johnson gave Senior Master Martin a metal sculpture he had commissioned for the courtyard at his do-jang, and thanked him for all his help along the journey.
