Really nice. I have some sixty year old Japanese yen
that remind me of a "lost weekend at Kamakura."
They have a meaning to me that fortunately no one
else knows about.

If there is anything the family could remember you by, write it down. When my wife's family was living we used to go to Newfoundland a couple times a year and Cathy's father would tell old war stories, not the gory stuff, just the funny stuff. I always said we should have recorded the stories, but I doubt if he would have told them if we did, a very private person. The family is pretty well gone now and all the stories are almost forgotten. Maybe he should have written them down and donated them to the local legion. Her grandfather was a WWI hero and all his "stuff" is hanging in the legion, maybe one person a year looks at his medals and the write-up. That's what life is about, we're here and then we're not. I read something once that said we die twice - once when we die and again when the last person who knew us dies. Write your funny stories down so we can hopefully extend our second life a little bit. Give your stamp collection to someone who will remember you when they "play with it". Sorry, a bit morbid, but what the heck!!

Hey Charlie,
A "lost weekend at Kamakura" sounds awful like something that happened a long time ago while on a weekend pass. I spent a couple of months in Japan back in 1969.

very attractive block of four. Beautifully engraved stamp and the condition is super. I love the way it's centered and the perfs converge flawlessly almost dead center. Nice item Phil.

My late brother in law was a 17 year old Navy Shore Patrol in Japan in the late 1950's. The stories he had about making officers empty their pint bottles and how the Navy changed the scrip before the ladies in town found out about it. He ended up being a State Trooper,just as well he was not one to bust his back working.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
