In June 2006, I went from Japan to the US to visit my father, and spent time with my brother up in Maine, where our family and relatives have been going for a very long time. In the 20's, my grandfather Moris was travelling in Maine, looking for a place to buy lobsters for Snyders Market when he discovered Goose Rocks Beach near Kennebunkport. He bought land and built a summer house there. I spent all my summers as a child there.

He's 91. I wish I'll look that good when I am 75!
