Instructors Page Updated

The instructors page has been updated with new ranks acquired. Please send mail to webmaster@shintaido.org if there are any corrections that need to be made.

I hope to publish a full list of exam results at a later time. My Japanese skills were not up to the task of accurately recording the exam results as they were announced. If any MATSURI 2004 attendees have a complete and accurate list, please send it along!
