My father was based in Japan when he was in the army. When I was young he would show me "Slides" ( a slide projector ) I saw many wonderful pictures of Japan. It became a dream place for me to go see the wonderful land that it has to offer.
My father passed away in Jan.07 He was such smart man. In his past time if he was not outside working on the lawn or playing with the 5 Blue & Gold Macaw's he would read the Encyclopedia.
On Happy thoughts:***********Never forget that everyone has a past. We are what we make ourselves. Make yourself proud.
