That was such a great trip for the two of you. Raymond wanted to show you the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park (3 parks that we love)! He made extra copies of the photo books for Alina and Ray4 so that they (and their families) remember you always.

In 1957, you had a chance to visit Honeywell Inc as a visitor from Japan; then, after 15 years later, you were among the construction team of Kyocera plant nearby, but Kyocera bought the Honeywell Building on sale instead, as its US Headquarters and Plant, you as in Admin and as occupant. Wasn’t it a miracle to you! <br /><br />Kyocera still owns that building and this year is the 56th years since then. I remember you have contributed greatly in establishing Minato Gakuen, The Saturday Japanese Language School, as well as the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park. Both of them have been successful. Congratulations! Thank you, Rio-san! fumie<br /><br />Fumie-san, thank you very much leaving your comments. Yes, I feel a sort of telepathy in the Honeywell Building. Never have I imagined to be my life work site! Just lucky to work at such wonderful location together with great people; bosses, colleagues, friends and you, under the same roof. Wishing the very best and further progress of Kyocera! It's really<br />nice to be working with you. As always. riorio imamurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086157388821359580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189835368912940966.post-22715656386070995112021-10-31T10:51:32.834+09:002021-10-31T10:51:32.834+09:00いつもブログを送っていただきありがとうございます。リオさんのブログを読んだり読まなかったりしているレ...いつもブログを送っていただきありがとうございます。リオさんのブログを読んだり読まなかったりしているレージ―な私ですが、今回のブログ「サンヂエゴ」は読みましたよ。サンヂエゴに K 本部が来た経緯がよくわかりました。有難うございました。Shida<br /><br />Shida-san,thank you very much for your visit. Yes, the first impression of San Diego in 1950s was unforgettable, together with the beautiful Jacaranda flowers. Learned Jaca trees came from Brazil. But saw Jacas in New Zealand and Australia, as well as in African Congo. Lumunbasshi in particular colored in purple haze. Equally surprisingly superb as we saw together magnolia flowers in Mississippi.

Talking of her native town, I found she was from Vancouver WA, the city I visited often in connection with the Nihonga Exhibits. I quoted her email messages about the Officers Row, the venue of the Nihonga Exhibits. Yes, I remember the opening gala celebration was at Red Lion Hotel where both Dr. Inamori and then Mayor Sheidl both spoke. I'm sure Bill Everitt was there. Dr. Michael Inoue served as interpreter for Dr. Inamori.

What an impressive collection of paintings! Although I was not able to attend the exhibit, our colleague, Bill Everitt, came back with a full-length book that was published to commemorate the exhibit, with one painting devoted to each page. I'll never forget it. A smaller 30-page booklet of the exhibit is still available on Amazon.

However I find myself not knowing of some of the words and phrases such as "nest of box" Surprised to know Mr. Jonishj is living such a long life. He must have been a well disciplined person. His story of "submarine attach" was most interesting. Without tanks and cannons saved his life! <br />Please continue this blog writing. I will be looking forward to visiting from time to time.<br /><br />Hiroshi Miyano Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843653798499701927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189835368912940966.post-42367394247969184802021-01-14T20:32:52.619+09:002021-01-14T20:32:52.619+09:00Thank you for your comment re poinsettia.
