Re: Marion/ visitor from Japan?

Back in 58 or so, Billy P. and his family hosted a Japanese Boy Scout named Imai (spelling?). I have a picture of us together in our Boy Scout uniforms somewhere. His English was broken (but a lot better than our non-existent Japanese) but we managed to communicate well enough. Imai's visit was an interesting, newsworthy event that summer in MH, and there was at least one feature story about him in the "MH News." Your hosting of Taro, however, sounds more eventful and full of "firsts" for him than Imai's short visit. That's the sort of one-on-one international visit that really puts a human face on our country and earns us a lot of goodwill. Kudos to you all.

Re: Marion/ visitor from Japan?

Oh and Moose did most of the work, and I still would not have a roof on if he had not been there to put it up. I learned a little about putting up a building from the master and had a great time with him and Taro. Life Is Really Good.
