Good for your son. I was writing, of course, in general. And in general, most men are reluctant even to consider such a move.

I know John. Just thought I would mention it. Love seems to make people move around in todays world, perhaps more than in the past.

Hell, I have a whole new set of inlaws who are large land holders and rice farmers.We have learned to be quite good friends. They are not typical 9 to 5 Japanese salrymen, tough as nails and VERY conservative.

I have met many war brides in Eastern Canada where I grew up, most from Britain. Many were my school teachers. They were generally so kind, having suffered so much in war, many having lost their families in bombings and through military service.

One was an Estonian lady who narrowly escaped the Nazis by sailing through the fog out of a fjord to Britain. Her husband had been shot by the Nazis as a member of the resistance.She had married a Canadian soldier. She passed away years ago, but we still have the wedding present she gave us.

Good article. Reminds me of many old friends from my youth.
