* This morning, Mrs. Michiko Sakashita, who is living in Blair, California, called me wihout giving me any notice. She said she was now in Tokyo together with Mr. Eddy Sakashita, her husband. They had to visit many places during their ten day stay in Japan so that there was not enough time for seeing me. Mr. Eddy was stick to TV because the Anaheim Angles was now on the verge of live or death at the postseason games. He was in high spirits, she said. In last year while I was staying Los Angles, they visited me at my hotel and had quite a plesant time with them. So it was nice to hear from her after about a year. She has always an enourmous vitality and her words are a great encouragement to us.
* A meeting of elder people was held from 11:30 at the Elgar House in Meguro, Tokyo. The meeting was arranged by Mr. Shinji Uwano.

The house has a well cared garden, view of which guests in its dining room can enjoy. We, who would be eighty years old soon, took many dishes, take a few glasses of wine and talked eagerly. Mr. and Mrs. Tadao Yamaguchi renewed their TV with a latest large-sized liquid crystal TV and bought a latest audio equipment.

Mr. Kitagawa has began to grow a beard. He planned to copmlete it with a mustache just before his 80th birthday. He avoided to be snapshotted today. He said his hand-made model of a sailing ship was scheduled to be completed within a month or so. He will renew the fence around his home completely. Mr. Uwano talked about a book titled as "Truth about the Caspian Sea Yogurt", written by Mr. Sachio Iemori, an hornorary professor of Kyoto University, published by Hoken Co. on September 16, 2002. The live yogurt which he brought back from Gurugia has an extraordinary growth power. It is able to re-grow in a night by mixing it with milk which is bought on the market. Gurugians eat it everyday and live long life. Mrs. Uwano was given a bowl of Gurugian yogurt from one of her friends. It has the same growth power as the one written in the book. Mr. Uwano checked it whether it was a genuine one or not by referring the book precisely. He concluded it was a real one. So he said he might be able to live as long as a hndred and fifty years. Mrs. Yamaguchi suffered from a disease on her legs but she seemed to recover from it. She looks fine and bright today.

Mr. Hiroshi Iino is very busy for preparing his move to a new apartment on the 16th floor of a tall residential building constructed under the Roppongi District Redevelopment Plan. So he is controlling himself a bit to keep a good health. I told about the inability for war of Japanese navy on my diary at a page of September 4, 2002. Late Mr. Anjin Tkahashi, a professor of the Engineering Departmnet of Tokyo Imperial University, told Mr, Yamaguchi during the war that Japan never could win the war. He wished to go to U.S.A. to continue his study if the war ended. Mr. Yamaguchi, a student of his seminar, cared his family under the intense air raids of U.S. bombers by supplying foods to them, The professor developed the theory of automatic control so that he was asked by military to apply his theory to arms. So he had the latest information about the arms technical level of both Japan and U.S.A.
After the meeting, I went to the Tokyo Kyosai Hospital and had a machine massage on both legs. The hospital was not crowded and I did not wait at all.
