Reunion Party. My good friend and colleague Mr. Akimura kindly arranged to have a reunion party of some of my former supervisors taking place in Hiroshima. Mr. Irie, Mr. Kawaguchi & Mr. Akimura attended (I visited with Mr. Sato in Osaka). Mr. McHale was in New York on business, and had to send his regrets.

We enjoyed a slow meal in a traditional restaurant and reminised about old times, and caught up on current activities. The weather was cold - it snowed the day I arrived, but held its clear skies.

I really enjoyed seeing everyone and having relaxed conversation.
