The first Lady of the State of Hawaii at that time Mrs. Dawn Amano IGE escorted the Former Governor Mr. Geoge ARIYOSHI to show her respect to him. I had the honor to talk to them in ENGLISH even though Mr. Ariyoshi spoke in Japanese so fluently. I did not know that.
Mr. Ariyoshi said to me, " Your English is so good." I continued to talk to him in English but one of his acquaintances talked to him suddenly in Japanese. He started to talk in Japanese so fluently. I was so ashamed of my ignorance and arrogance.
The Chair of Japan-America Society in Hokkaido Mr. Yoshiro ITO from Sapporo also delivered a congratulatory words to the participants to the ceremony. He was and is the construction tycoon in Hokkaido and a special influence to the US Navy.
