LOOKING BACK
Congratulations on the Terminal
Islanders’ 25th Anniversary.
I join the 500 plus members on this
happy and memorable occasion and pray that the next 25 years will be as
productive.
Our special thanks to Mr. Iwao Shirokawa, Mr. Masaaki Kuwabara, Mr. Noritatsu Nakai, the first elected President Bill Nakasaki
and our present President Yukio Tatsumi, who were the
nucleus in the formation of our organization. There were many others, too
numerous to name, who were also involved.
Physically our prewar home site doesn’t
exist anymore, but the memories remain vivid. It was a wonderfully relaxed
place with everyone associating as one big family. This spirit and relationship
has been manifested through the substantial donation to the Keiro
Retirement Home, and again the 1/4 million dollar plus donations for the
establishment of the 2nd phase of the
To the departed relatives and friends
and to the remaining friends, many “THANK YOU”, for the numerous wonderful
experiences and memories of day past.
