My daughter, Lenora King, took most of the shots and one of the students, Sharon Box, supplied two of the shots, taken by her husband.

My husband, Joe King, kept the information table.

We met in Glover Park, the Square of Marietta, Georgia. We began with the reading of the Proclamation for the Mayor of Marietta and the message from you and your wife. After 45 minutes of Five Element Qigong and the 24-Short Form, Yang Style, we all went to a local restaurant, the 3 Bears, for a brunch. It became two hours of good food, good conversations and new friendships forged through Taiji.

Here is a list of the people who participated in the actual movements reading from left to right on the group photo under the statue of Alexander Stephens Clay (1853 – 1910). Notice his “bow stance” as he “holds the ball”. We tried to guess which form he was doing.
