My nephew won the Scripps Howard championship in Japan and competed in Washington in the finals. [He lost]. It was funny though when they called his [all Irish name] as the Japanese Champion everyone was scratching their heads. His Dad my brother was stationed at Misawa AFB and he was born and raised in Japan.
