The only Japanese I know is from what my Grandfather picked up in WWII.  There’s a noticeable Alabama twang to his voice, so this may not be anywhere close to accurate:

Corn-eechee-wah, Shay-moose.

Zao an (morning peace - general morning greeting), Xiansheng Baker.

Yes, I meant to say "Good Morning" (I believe I posted after midnight).  Just another lame attempt at "buying in" to Patrick’s thoughts on the crest.  Some days you get the bear…

In any case, I don’t think ohayyu gosaimasu means "thank you," does it?


No, "ohayo(extended vowel)gozaimasu" means "good morning" ... I thought Pastor Henry was giving the morning greeting.

It wasn’t lame at all, I am honored by your greeting Papasan Will. Sometimes even a blind squirrel gets a nut.

I’m psychic. Or psychotic, I can never remember which. But it doesn’t matter as the difference between the two is aught.

With any luck, this link should take you to a rendition of my arms by Sandy Turnbull of Melbourne, Australia:

The Turnbull rendition is slick, and the badge looks great as a flag.

Congrats.
