Well we all went to Nipomo, Ca to participate in Toni's Test. The board included Soke, Sensei Jeff, MrMr, Mrs. Crothers, Mr. Hickman, Heather Christensen, Rebecca Prewett, Miriam Prewett. Well that is enough Black Belts to scare anyone to death. On top of that Toni was the only candidate and she was really nervous.
