My new obi. The kanji reads Beikoku Shido Kan.

Marian Reiter Sensei and Tsumori Sensei. They taught Lindsay and I our first bo kata and the bunkai for it. Tsumori Sensei taught us many exercises practice. There was also a good question and answer session, but few of us know enough to be able to ask questions!
