Dear Masatsugu,
My wife and I will be flying to
We plan to visit some places where I remember
I hope to contact you or other astronomers
while we are there. I have corresponded
with several Japanese astronomers in

Your situation is similar to mine. I retired from the U.S. Naval Observatory in
June 2001 and am 62 years old. So, we are of the same generation.
We will be busy with my son and his family so
I will try to meet with you during the days you suggest. They have big plans for us, but I attempted
to tell him we are not as young as he may think and our visits and touring will
have to be moderated. I will call you, if possible, on March 15 or 16 and hope
we can communicate well. I have not
spoken Japanese in many years and my accent is no doubt awful. In my younger days I was fluent in reading,
writing and speaking Japanese. The
years have taken that away. So, I hope I can remember a little and keep my
grammar and protocol in place. As I
remember people in
Thank you for the advice on he weather in
Hope to see you in a few weeks, if my son
will let me do something I want to do.

Masatsugu-San,
I would not get far speaking Japanese since
it has been over 40 years since I lived there and really made a mess of my
language skills by living in
I will ask my son what his plans are for us.
Sunday 24 March may be a great time. Please let me ask my son first. A Chinese
restaurant will be fine. I was hoping to get some O-Soba as well. My son tells
me he goes to a Chinese restaurant in
Speaking of restaurants I was eating in a
Mexican restaurant in
I have not presented a lecture on Mars in
nearly ten years. Maybe I can introduce everyone to the Great 2003 Perihelic
Apparition and the study my friend at the U.S. Naval Observatory and I did to
find the dates when Mars was close to Earth relative to 2003. It is not so
interesting to us astronomers, but some people are fascinated with it. I will
not have room to bring slides, but will make copies of the graphic plots of the
2003 apparition and the ± 100,000 years search we made to find
when Mars was close to Earth.
Don't worry about finding Judoka for me -- I
retired from practice years ago. I never liked Tomoe-nage, my best was Seoi
Otoshi and then Uchimata. I won
the 1961 U.S. Air Force 140-pound championship with those techniques. My sensei who was the International
Instructor of the Kodokan, Professor KOTANI Sumiuki. He was the last Judan (10th dan) to live. It is enough to have practiced
Judo once and now be an astronomer.
I will send your e-mail to my son so he can
make Las to get me to meet with you and others.

Thanks for the info on the weather. I have no slides for a Mars talk. I will give a short briefing on the 2003
apparition and the study a friend and I did for Jack Horkheimer in
My son suggested we all meet at TGI Friday's
in
My best friend in 1960 was a Nisei (Japanese-America) named "YAMASHITA Masato. So, I can at least call you "Mas" :)

Dear Masatsugu,
The flight was long. We had to land in
Excitement.
Yes, we will meet you
at TGI Friday's at
I hope that my talk on Mars will be received
as informal because I have no present ion material, such as slides, etc., but
remember much of what I need to say. I
think an informal talk with discussions will be great. I know you and others feel the same and I do
about Mars. It is a difficult object to
study and that is probably why we do study Mars. I am nearly 62 years old so we have much in common I am sure.
So, I have practiced speaking Japanese but no
one seems to understand me. I know for
Americans to attempt to speak Japanese is well received here in
We will meet you soon and look forward to the
meeting. I will call you soon.
