Thank you

I must first thank former NCTA president, Professor Yong Chin Pak. When I began my term as the NCTA Secretary General, he enabled me to gather the results for the 1995 US collegiate championships. As we developed the NCTA website I began searching for earlier collegiate information. We began adding general information about the host schools, tournament directors, and the teams that had represented the United States at collegiate worlds.

The USTU journals which Dr. Ken Min began publishing in the late 70�s have been a crucial reference sources for much of the information gathering for this site. Before Robert Fujimura donated an almost complete set of the journals for digitization, a number of people sent me faxes and photocopies of the pertinent information. I am grateful to all of them for their support. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Min and Mr. Fujimura.

The Taekwondo Hall of Fame site created and managed by Gerard Robbins has also provided useful information for US team members and Taekwondoists of note.

The numerous people who have sent me information or clarified names, etc. whom I would like to thank include Professor Pak, Dr. Min, Glenn Uesugi, Robert Fujimura, Robert Knight, Bill Kellick, Tom Hernandez, Mark Kaufmann, Ron Southwick, Oren & Terry Gautreaux, Garth Cooley, Gregg Tubbs, D. Steve Shinn, Soon Ho Kim, Ronda Sweet, Steve Shin, Sammy Pejo (and Sang Lee), Caroline Colonna, Siobhan Gilchrist, Seamus Gilchrist, Arlene Limas, Anthony Everett, Kevin Stefanek, Mike Demkowski, Perry Seto, Jason Yoo, Jacque ColeHusseini, Seth Wilson, Rick Chaeff, Tau Shanklin Roberts, Dr. Deb Krotish, Lou Giamo, Charles Dingman, David Turgeon, Dan Chuang, John Holloway, Jay Warwick, Valerie Long, Dr. Russell Ahn, Mary Horvith Grimaldi, Sharon Lesmerises Williams, Jody Nyland Yu, Akiko Reyes, Sharon Jewell, Bruce Harris, Jason Poos, and Jeanna Mendoza.

Thank you to the many people who have helped me gather over 200 of the 230 names for the 8th World University Taekwondo Championships from 2004 which were held in Patras, Greece. The original brackets from that event did not include the names of the athletes. That group includes Maria Borello, Rene Levesque, Tommy Mollet, Angel Roman, Euda Carias, Mustafa Cam, Markus Kohl�ffel, Maria Konyakhina, Nina Dolinsek, Adrian Tranter, Dragan Jovic, Masa Vlahovic, Thomas Kl�y, David Kadlec, Bohuslav Hybrant, Peter Bolz, Natalia Falavigna, Federico Mitooka, Elva Adams, Mihaela Strok, Aldarbayar Jugdernamjil, Wojciech Pyzel, Miguel �ngel Torregrosa, Jos� Jes�s Marquez Sanchez, Chinedum Osuji, and from FISU: Paulo Ferreira and David Vandenplas.
