My partner Doreen and are glad to have hosted Jido Diazan and his wifr jennifer for this auspicious moment. Being fortunate to be in the same physical location as one of the oridinees, we took a few pictures:

It was a real honor to be part of this ceremony.
There were 13 or 14 people attending at the garden. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of the audience (but Daizan has one in his heart).

Deep bows to you, Doreen, Jennifer, and Daizan.
