YOU WERE THERE IN THE 50S; I WAS HERE IN THE EARLY 60S. THERE HAD BEEN SOME PROGRESS MADE IN THE TEN YEARS THAT SEPERATES OUR DUTY, BUT BASICALLY, IT LOOKS ABOUT THE SAME. JAPAN WAS STILL IN THE RECONSTRUCTION ERA. AND LOOK AT IT TODAY. BILL, DID YOU EVER RETURN?

HAVING BEEN STATIONED IN JAPAN, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO SEND NORITAKE BACK HOME TO THE STATES. IF ONE DID NOT SEND MOM OR GRANDMOTHER A SET OF NORITAKE, YOU WERE DEFINITELY ON HER S.... LIST. THANKS TO BILL FOR SHARING HIS TOUR OF DUTY IN JAPAN AND KOREA BACK IN THE 1950S...............
