Madam Sahomi Tachibana of New York.
The tempo of the Odoris picked up at the conclusion of the
programme with Riverside Ondo and One Blus One Ondo setting

Goshu Ondo. Many of the spectators jumped in at the chance to
participate with Aiderman and Mrs. Ying Hope being two of the
notables.
There were many spectators from out of the city, some were
visitors from as far away as Australia, as well as many Americans.
Special thanks to the Japan Air Lines (Mr. George Nishidera)
