Dear Bonnie

　　I am very grad to receive an e-mail from you.

As Niigata is located at about 300 km　North from Tokyo,

cherry blossoms are not in bloom,although it is in full bloom

in Tokyo. We are now waiting their blooming.

　

　 Some of 16th period of CIC(Sept.2002) are visited Vancouver

at the end of March,and visited the dear CIC campus and entered

in the buldings. They are only 5 or 6 persons.

There is a cheap plane-ticket from Kansai air port limited in winter

season so thatmember were limited to residents in Kansai area

(Kyoto and Oosaka). Chizie Koide andKuniko Kishimoto joined the party.

　

　　I have a piano playing circle for adults in West community center.

A lot of people　who wishes to learn the piano playing gathered

at the hobby circle, and it reached　to 10 persons expect me.

I must buy a electric piano for the help of teaching.

　

　　I am corresponding with Akira Kurimoto by e-mails sometime.

He is willing to go to　Vancouver again. As my son is still Montreal

studying languages, We would travel to East　part of Canada next year.

　

　　I heared that a book concerning　a long stay in Vancouver

would be published　in the end of this month at the Shueisha

in Japan. I hear that some of memories in Carey Center　are traslated

in that book. So, I am now waiting the book.
