My belated but sincere thanks to Sparky for making a special trip to attend our luau. Sparky flew in on Saturday afternoon and flew right back to Washington a couple of hours after the luau. Thanks, again. We are indeed grateful for Sparky's efforts in Congress and are proud that he is one of the club members. We hope tha t Sparky continues to serve us in Washington, in one office or another. The glowing reports about the recent reunion in Los Angeles makes me regret that I couldn't make the trip. But, work must have first priority. We budget slaves can't very well go galavanting during the end of one fiscal year and the beginning of another. Thanks to the local efforts of Blue Nagasaki and Dick Oguro -- and the countless hours of work put in by Southern Californians headed by Y.B. Mamiya and his various subcommittee chairmen, the Reunion was, from all reports, a roaring success. Bob Takashige and Martin Tohara are busy trying to line up things to do before or after the 1976 AJA Reunion scheduled for late July 1976. The tentative program is published elsewhere in this issue. Look it over and start thinking of what you want to do, but by all means, start saving your money. But, before you put all of your money in the savings account, please put aside a little to buy your wife a nice looking umbrella. She may need to bring one along when you bring her to our Memorial Service. I expect a lot of wives, sons and daugh ters at the memorial service.-.l think that we all should reserve at least one Sunday morning in a year to pay our respects, to our fallen comrades. And just as important -- to attend the Service to count our blessings, and to reflect on what we as in dividuals must do and recommit ourselves to our club motto: For Continuing Service. Continuing service to our families, fellow members and the community. See you at the memorial service.
