BOOTH GARDNER GOVERNOR

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR

As Governor of Washington State, I would like to express my congratulations to Sri Chinmoy for a tremendous athletic achievement: lifting 1300 pounds on the calf lift. Clearly, your efforts reflect a determination and inner spirit most people would find impossible to emulate.

I would also like to convey my appreciation for all your activities in Washington State. Concerts, races and support for the local United Nations demonstrate a commitment we all admire. Best wishes for your next endeavour.

Sincerely,

Booth Gardner Governor
