Hi WB,
It was good hearing from you. I love living in Seattle.
Hey the Pats have Bledsoe and Lawyer to give them credit.
I also live in the west Seattle area, and Vancouver, BC.
is beauitful. I see you have a Japan fund, is this going
to be your first trip. I myself have been to Japan many
of times. The last time I was there was in 83, being
employed as a merchant seamen with Sealand shipping.
My port of calls were Kobe,Naha,and Yokohamma.
I did not see much of the country side. But I did do alot
of shopping there. A great place for gifts and trinkets.
Also some great eating places and gin mills. It funny
over there I remember that seeing beer and hard stuff
in vending machines. I never seen something like that
in my world travels. The country over there to me seem
clean and safe. The four seasons in Seattle is a great
hotel. My wife is a reservations manager in a local hotel.
Yes at times I do miss Beantown. But most of my childhood
was on Martha's Vineyard. My daughter was born on the island
maybe the first fil-am being born. Yes Seattle is a great
town. But I kind of wonder about alot the people the city
has portrait. Goodluck in Japan, and say hi to the
asian goodwill man Jeff S
