There was no such store as a Ben and Jerry store when I was in Japan. There was no Mc Donalds, but there were plenty of other great places to shop. I arrived at the old airport in August of 1961 via Pan American. I rode the bus through the streets, a delight because there was no freeway at that time. Within 4 hours, I was at Atsugi, reporting to my squadron, VQ-1, at NAS Atsugi. It was a great time, 28 months I shall never forget.
It was a sad day when I had to say Sayonara shortly after celebrating Christmas of 1963. Departing Yokosuka on the USS GENERAL MANN, I had plenty of time to contemplate a chapter of my life that had just ended---forever. We sailed beneath the Golden Gate on my 22 birthday and I was home at last, never to be the same again. My memories of my time in Japan are golden as I have just turned 70. Where did the time go?
Throughout my time in Japan, the exchange rate was Y=360 per 1 U.S. Dollar, a great rate for shopping. Robert

Marvelous. This speaks volumes about the Monmartre I have read about throughout my lifetime. You have captured many spirits in your image. It shouts many voices who are no longer audible, but voices we can hear if we listen and look in the right mood of contemplation.
Added to galleries I felt defined this great photograph that brings the past to the present in a glance.
Nothing here yet.
