I was asked by Dr. Randy Lentz to pass on this e-mail
message to the Florida_Judo group. He has tried to
reply to some people from Florida but their e-mails
would not allow him to. If you are in this situation,
then contact Dr. Randy Lentz again.
(See e-mail below)

Yours In Judo,

David,
Greetings from S. Georgia and Happy Holidays. The
GA State Judo Championship in Jesup is about a month
away and it is going to be a huge international event!
The African Contenental Championship Team from
Nigeria will be here from Jan. 26-Feb.2. This will
be good experience for us because they are bringing at
least 15 of their best players, including
an IJF eighth dan. We also will have at least one
player from Ireland as well as many from Latin
America.

As far as local competitors go, Florida (of course)
has preregistered more players than any other state.
However, Georgia isn't far behind. South Carolina and
North Carolina should make a good showing as well. We
are expecting to start early Saturday morning, Jan.
29, because we don't have room for a fourth mat. We
still need some refs and some volunteers;
any manpower help will be greatly appreciated.

Many people have contacted us by email, but some of
their addresses won't accept my return reply. Any
suggestions?

Thanks, and we'll be in touch,
Randy Lentz, MD
