new edition of book about Tokyo program

Tokyo-based writer Professor Yasuhiro Kuroki wrote a book about the founding of the Tokyo-Frost Valley YMCA partnership about 20 years ago. I've seen this book, although can't read a word of it. (Maybe it'll be translated into English some day.) Now, this summer, Yasuhiro is back, spending three weeks or so with us. He's writing an updated edition of this book. Here he is, second from right, in the dining hall at the beginning of session 3. On his immediate left and right are Emiko and Tatsuo Honma, whom readers of this blog will know as the husband-and-wife team who founded and for many years directed the Tokyo camp at FV. Their daughter Kyoko was my camper (on a bike trip) in 1979, and now Kyoko's children are summer camp regulars.
