Kathy,

Having lived in Japan for 26 years, you know how to maneuver around their system. Japanese are generally strict, sticking to the rules - the no exception type. I remember vividly during a concert almost 30 years ago in the National Taiwan University Auditorium. I was with the University Choir hosting a visiting Japanese college (all male) choir. Their acappella were beautiful. I am sure you are familiar with 'Sakula', their national flower and the title of one of the songs.

During intermission, I noticed the amazing way young Japanese audience behaved. Whenever there were more than two people talking, the original two would step back and let the third, fourth...etc in and always maintained a perfect circle. And they never raised their voices. Of course these were mostly children of diplomats, missionaries, or business men from Japan. But I was just very, very impressed.

Glad to hear about the actions you are taking. Remember the power of prayers and the amazing power of positive thinking. I am sending love from Central Texas.
