Great Uncle

Toshiaki's brother, Uncle Shuji, came up from Japan and Yuriko and I were able to meet him. It was really fun meeting him. He is from Tokyo and is an interior decorator. He learned English when he taught Interior Design in New York for a year in the '80s. He is 81 and is super spry - he walks 3 km a day. He does this with one lung, as he used to smoked 60 cigarettes a day for about 63 years. We took him out to Hotel Saskatchewan and had a good evening getting to know him. We're hoping to visit him someday soon in his country...
