I've circled his United States Karate Association diploma

Frayed by time,I've still included my own so readers get a close-up view

Why is this important?

U.S.K.A. brought us artist together like never before or since.

Tournaments made us tough. Dr. McNair who was supposed to be smart and

not a 'toughee' yet he saw  value of Martial Arts. McNair was not too busy or arrogant

to take classes in the arts.

It was through U.S.K.A. we saw Yankees (should be called Lankees) long legged

westerners compete and shine in our own light. Thanks U.S.K.A..

Triple Heaters?

Number 3 is the scour of the Arab Embargo . Simply put. Stories abound

how frigate schools were because governments mandated we keep thermastats

lows saving energy. Remember we practiced barefoot. "Brrrrr."
