The AJJF Board of Professors has heard from many of our membership concerning their feeling of loss with the death of Professor Pat Browne. He indeed was a great inspiration, great leader, and wonderful Shihan to many, including the Board of Professors.
Many Sensei, Dans, and Kyus have expressed a desire to donate to a special project in his behalf. The Board of Professors have discussed his deep regard for JuJitsu and Education, as well as his heartfelt yearning to do all he could in the field of both Eastern and Western Medicine. He indeed gave his life to that cause.
As many of you know, Prof. Browne initially founded the Midwest Massage program in 1984, and served on the AJJF Okazaki Restorative Massage Program's Standards Committee in recent years. How many times did he give to us by teaching jujitsu, acupuncture, massage, & & & & & & & ...without ever asking for remuneration?
Now, anyone who would like to make a donation in his name to a cause that was especially dear to his heart can do so by mailing a check or money order to the "AJJF" designating it in memory of Prof. Pat Browne to be deposited in the AJJF OKAZAKI RESTORATIVE MASSAGE SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Now is the time to thank him by helping someone else learn Okazaki Restorative Massage.
Prof. John Congistre, AJJF Treasurer 459 Greenwood Drive Santa Clara, CA 95054
The AJJF is a California 501-C3 non-profit corporation so your donation is tax-deductible.
