  The practice boyfriend, of course. Who do you think I was smiling at?

    I never did throw very well. You’ll notice he’s smiling too, in the reciprocal photo which ends Part Five of the memoir.

  It somehow doesn’t seem right to say thank you sixty-seven years later. So I’ll thank you on behalf of the photographer, who had such a loving eye.

This is such a beautiful young girl, and to think I would have been one year old that year. I do hope you get your little book published!

I've been 'silent' on the comment front, but am reading each of your entries and enjoying them immensely as always.

  Oh, Takami, thank you. But “not changed at all?” You’re living in a dream world! And yes, I had wondered why you turned so quiet, but am glad you’ve been enjoying my trip down memory lane.

  Terrible aim. (But lovable.) Still a lefty. 🙂
