I asked where did he stayed, he told me @ the Golden Nugget. He told me he purchased property in Vegas, but will give it to his family. Your Dad was such a nice Japanese man. He found out later on I was not Japanese. Then of course, I met Michi Koga and Michael etc. Small world. I’m glad I saw him on Sat w/Michi. He looked very good. Michael, Susan you will have a long life, liked your Dad. Wow 95 yrs of age. Nice service. Thank u for the Bento. It was a very Personal Service. Glad his grandson spoke also. Fond Memories. Born on Flag Dad, 5/15. |
