Message:Seeing the names of old friends (and it won't be long till we're all "old" friends) brings back such warm memories. Most of my in-between years have been spent in Nagano, but currently I am in Tokyo heading up a Christian ministry to families. My weekends are filled with taxiing my kids to sports events at YIS, St. Maurs, etc. If anyone knows anything about Anne Ross '73 (from South Africa), a number of us have been trying to locate her.

God bless you all, and please write.

Message:Dear classmates of 74,

After living in California for seventeen years I am back in Japan. It was nice to see old familiar names like John Henne and Cindy Dawe. I met Martha at our reunion in San Francisco few years ago. This year at YIS Food Fair I played my band. There are 4 ex-YIS guys playing with me. We did pretty good. If the web master can somehow post the DVD so that people interested can see, it will be great. My e-mail address is my company mail address so I check it out everyday. Send me your update.

I was at YIS from 5th through 7th grade...so glad I found this web site! The only one from our class I still am in touch with is Lynn Ashby. I kept up with Janet Paul for awhile, but lost touch...Janet, if you're out there drop me a line! Also, Werner Holstein, I still have the bracelet you gave me in 5th grade as a going away present. There are LOTS of you I'd like to see again/talk to, so anyone that knows me, HELLO!

Message:For those of you who remembers me, since I didn't stay there till the end, supposedly '73-74. I was contacted by Mr.H.Kato after all these years, and had a mini local reunion with members from SJIS and St. Maurs. Reminded me of good old days at formerly SJC and YIS. I'm here in Torrance, CA after almost 3 decades? I wanted to log in to an alumni listing, but couldn't find one. Could use some help to get listed. Feel free to contact me but forgive me if I don't respond. I delete questionable senders and solicitors.

Message:Hi Gang!
After years of looking at old photos of us, it's great to be
able to read your comments, and maybe even get
re-acquainted. Does anyone mind if I send in some old (and
usually funny) photos of us at various activities? I have a
couple of official class pictures, lots of the trip to Nikko
and Sendai, and some just around YIS in general.
I'm warning you, many are VERY unflattering (especially of
ME!!!)...but VERY funny!
Write to me anytime - Cindy
