* A beautiful colored leaves picture on the bottom was taken today from the alumni hall of Tokyo High School Graduates Association in Kudan, Tokyo..

The picture was taken by a small size digital camera. As it has no wide lens,

the picture does not cover the whole view.

The palace out-creek can be seen on the left bottom corner.

It has a wider view for further left

while the right side view covers the colored leaves toward the Chidoriga-fuchi.

I attended a lunch-on meeting of the 16th graduates of Tokyo High School after long absents. Mr.Mafumi Terada (general manager of the meeting). Mr. Sadao Ito and me, only three members attended today. Mr. Ito reported that Mr. Noboru Tsuya was not in good health these days. He became difficult to walk. He has been traveling around the world without taking rest. The travel diary dated June 10, 2002 reported about his visit to the "Yellow Dragon" which was registered as a "World Heritage" in the Suzuchuan Province in China. Despite of his latest physical condition, he made a three day travel to U.S.A. just to visit his intimate friend in hospital only a few days ago.

This place is a good viewpoint to see cherry blossoms in spring. Mr. Motoo Kuroiwa, who died suddenly in early summer this year, has voluntarily arranged a class meeting of 16th graduates on April 1, 2002. Unfortunately the cherry blossoms scattered about a week earlier. No one knows what would be in the next spring. But Mr. Terada found that the noon time of March 31 was open, and he made reservation for our lunch-on party.

We took bowls of Tempura Soba which was delivered from a nearby shop. Everybody tasted them well.

After the party was dissolved, I went to the Tokyo Kyosai Hospital to get a machine massage.

＊The Georgian yogurt, which was given to me yesterday from Mr. Uwano, was rich in vitality. By this morning, a pack of fresh milk has been changed to yogurt. I poured it on thin sliced banana and ate them. They were rather glutinous. I felt the weight of them in my bowels. I think that is why they are good for keeping good health and at the same time having longer life.
