Robert Botsford, a long-time martial arts instructor in McCook, was inducted into the U.S.A. Martial Arts "Hall of Fame" in Indianapolis, Indiana, on April 12. Botsford has been practicing martial arts since November 1975. A USDA food inspector by day, he estimates he has taught 1,400-1,500 students tae kwon do and karate since he opened his studio here in September 1998. He credits his mother, Twilla, and wife, Ester, for encouraging him to pursue his art.

Hooo-Raah, An honor very few can obtain, let alone be considered for, and be granted presentation of. Keep training our young in the mind-skills of discipline, with physical skill's of control, to protect others, and self. AMEN
