All the "GOLD" is not in Hawthorne, California

"Carolina GOLD" also has it in North Carolina

But, "New Jersey" has a more Famous Corps in Hawthorne, the "Caballeros"

"Caballeros" which has More Gold from National and World Titles since 1960 till now.

But, "Carolina Crown" may be GOLD with Rachminof

making 6 Degree's of Difference (3 Corps and 3 states)

Now with change's made. Is that the correct way?
