I am saddened with the news of passing of Mr. Haruo Yamashiro. He was a very good man and we worked together for many activities of OAA, particularly for aquiring our new center building. He helped me a lot while I was president of OAA. I am unable to attend his funeral service for other commitments. I send my deepest sympathy to the family.
